UBS ETRACS Crude Oil Shares Covered Call ETN (USOI) Dividend
UBS ETRACS Crude Oil Shares Covered Call ETN (USOI) currently pays a dividend yield of 66.54%, distributing $20.61 per share annually ($3.14 per month). The company operates in the Energy sector.
This is a trailing yield: the last 12 months of distributions divided by today's share price. A figure this high almost always means an option-income fund that sells upside for premium and pays the premium out as distributions, so the share price erodes while the headline yield stays enormous. It is not a forecast, and it is not free money — a large part of it is your own capital coming back to you. Check the fund's NAV trend before treating any of it as income.
