YMAX DRIP: reinvesting vs taking cash
YMAX paid out 59.28% of its share price over the last 12 months. Reinvesting at that rate with the price held flat would multiply a position many times over within a few years, which is arithmetic, not a forecast: funds paying out this much have generally seen their price fall as they pay. Above a 15% payout rate this page does not project reinvestment at a fixed price.
To model it, set a price change you consider realistic. Reinvesting helps most when the price recovers after falling, because the distributions bought more shares while it was low.

What this calculator assumes
- The starting distribution is the sum of regular distributions per share over the last 12 months. Special or supplemental payouts are left out.
- Income is before taxes, and the share price stays at the latest close unless you change it.
- YMAX's payments are set by what its strategy earned each period, so past distributions are not a forecast. The growth rate starts at zero.

How much do I need to invest in YMAX to make $1,000 a month?

Is YMAX's distribution rate the same as its return?
No. The distribution rate compares cash paid to the share price. Total return also counts the change in the share price, and a fund that pays out a high rate can see its price fall over time, so income alone overstates what an investor kept. Part of a distribution can also be classified as return of capital; the fund's tax notices show how each payment is classified.
