Sad but true ZWU

if you look at the BMO info site for distributions in 2022

Total Distribution $.96

eligible dividends $.34

Capital gains $0 ..... which means they made $0 from their Option strategy all year!

ROC (return of capital) $.54

Foreign income $.097

somebody please correct me if I'm wrong 

ROC was 56% of the distribution in 2022

 

when I check the Horizon site for my favourite covered call ETF "ENCC"

i see $0 ROC

just saying

You are correct ANALOG GUY. At the time I bought I was looking at the ENCC too. I chose wrong. Oh well. Luckily I chose right on others.
