Payout risk check
ETCO's last 12 distributions were variable (consistency score 75/100).
Its share price moved -74.3% over the past year.
A 122.9% 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.

Has ETCO grown or cut its distribution?
As a fund, ETCO'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.

At the current forward yield of 122.88%, you would need about 122 shares of ETCO (roughly $977 invested at today's price) to collect $1,200 a year, or $100 a month on average, before taxes. Payments arrive on the fund’s schedule, so the monthly figure is an average.
