Frequently Asked Questions About MARO

What is MARO's distribution yield?

MARO's trailing-twelve-month yield is 215.32%, calculated from the sum of distributions over the past year divided by the current price.

How does MARO's covered-call strategy work?

MARO sells call options against the stocks (or index) it holds, collecting premium income that gets passed through to shareholders as distributions.
