Payout risk check

Distribution stabilityElevated risk

ECC's last 12 distributions were variable (consistency score 63/100).

Its share price moved -48.2% over the past year.

A 32.7% yield paired with a falling share price is the classic sign of NAV erosion: part of each distribution may be a return of your own capital rather than income the fund earned, and the share price can keep grinding lower even while the headline yield looks attractive.

This is a rule-based screen computed from public data, not a rating or a recommendation. Read our guide to yield traps for what the signals mean.

ECC distribution FAQ

When is ECC's next ex-distribution date?

ECC's next ex-distribution date is Sep 10, 2026 (in 2 days, declared by the fund). You must own the shares before that date to receive the payment of about $0.1067 per share, expected on Sep 24, 2026.

How often does ECC pay distributions?

ECC pays distributions every month, 12 times a year. The most recent payment was $0.06 per share with an ex-date of Aug 11, 2026.

What is ECC's distribution yield?

ECC's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 32.74%, based on $1.28 per share paid over the last year and a share price of $3.91. The forward yield, using the indicated annual rate of $1.28 per share, is 32.74%.

How much does ECC pay per share?

ECC pays about $0.1067 per share each month, which works out to roughly $1.28 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $128.00 a year.

Has ECC grown or cut its distribution?

Over the last 5 years the regular payout has grown at 3.1% a year (-27.3% over the last year). There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, ECC's distributions vary with the income its holdings generate, so payouts are not designed to rise every year the way a dividend-growth stock's are.

How many shares of ECC do I need to earn $100 a month?

At the current forward yield of 32.74%, you would need about 938 shares of ECC (roughly $3,666 invested at today's price) to collect $1,200 a year, or $100 a month on average, before taxes. Payments arrive every month, so the monthly figure is an average.
