Payout risk check

Distribution stabilityElevated risk

USOI's last 12 distributions were highly variable (consistency score 36/100).

Its share price moved -10.8% over the past year.

A 49.5% 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.

USOI distribution FAQ

When is USOI's next ex-distribution date?

USOI's next ex-distribution date is Sep 22, 2026 (in 14 days, declared by the fund). You must own the shares before that date to receive the payment of about $1.7002 per share, expected on Sep 25, 2026.

How often does USOI pay distributions?

USOI pays distributions every month, 12 times a year. The most recent payment was $2.70 per share with an ex-date of Aug 20, 2026.

What is USOI's distribution yield?

USOI's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 49.48%, based on $22.864 per share paid over the last year and a share price of $46.21. The forward yield, using the indicated annual rate of $29.388 per share, is 63.60%.

How much does USOI pay per share?

USOI pays about $1.7002 per share each month, which works out to roughly $29.388 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $2,938.80 a year.

Has USOI grown or cut its distribution?

Over the last 5 years the regular payout has shrunk at 9.9% a year (-24.1% over the last year). There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, USOI'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 USOI do I need to earn $100 a month?

At the current forward yield of 63.60%, you would need about 41 shares of USOI (roughly $1,887 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.
