Q: I have been invested into the two ETF’s: HCAL and HUTS. I understand that this is a leverage play i.e. 25%. What I do not understand is why are the monthly distributions so high? I did the math on both ETF’s added all the yields up added 25% and it should not be yielding at current percentage. This is not a covered call ETF. Is there return on capital? What am I missing here?
