Most income ETF investors don't realize how much of their "yield" is actually their own money coming back to them.
A fund advertising 50% yield might only be generating 10% in real earned income. The rest is return of capital — your own principal being returned as a distribution while the share price quietly declines.
I've been using @YieldCanary to check every fund I cover. It shows the True Income Yield after stripping out return of capital, real after-tax returns, and an overall health rating on 300+ income ETFs.
Some of the most popular funds look very different once you see the real numbers.
