About True Income Yield
About True Income Yield: This is a YieldCanary proprietary sustainability indicator, not a standard accounting measure of economic gain. It strips return of capital from the headline yield to show only what the fund generated from real investment activity. Return of capital reduces your cost basis and the full economic gain is only realized when you sell your shares. YieldCanary calculates ROC from performance data, not from the 19a-1 notices that fund companies publish monthly. Our estimates can differ from official issuer reports and can differ significantly from your year-end 1099 tax forms. We are actively working on incorporating 19a-1 data to make these figures more precise. For confirmed ROC figures always check the fund's official 19a-1 notice on the issuer's website or your year-end 1099.

Frequently Asked Questions — TSLP
Is TSLP a good income ETF?
Based on YieldCanary's health framework, TSLP is currently Severe Risk. The current data suggests extreme caution. The fund is showing significant NAV erosion alongside its distributions — the classic yield trap pattern where the advertised yield looks attractive while the underlying value quietly disappears. This is not financial advice — always do your own research and consult a qualified financial professional before making investment decisions.

Is TSLP's return of capital good or bad?
TSLP's current ROC estimate is 54.4%. A high ROC without NAV stability can indicate the fund is returning your own principal as income while the underlying value declines. The Death Clock and Canary Status reflect this in TSLP's current health rating. Note: YieldCanary calculates ROC from performance data, not 19a-1 filings.

What is TSLP's AUM and why does it matter?
TSLP currently has $18M in assets under management. TSLP is a smaller fund. While smaller AUM is not automatically a problem, funds with limited assets carry slightly more closure risk if assets decline significantly. Factor this into your position sizing. AUM alone does not determine whether a fund is healthy. Check the Canary Status and Death Clock above for the full sustainability picture.

Is TSLP available in a Roth IRA?
Yes — TSLP can be held in a Roth IRA like any standard ETF, assuming your brokerage offers it. For income ETFs with high return of capital, a Roth IRA can be a particularly advantageous account type. ROC distributions reduce your cost basis in a taxable account, creating a deferred tax liability that grows over time. In a Roth IRA that tax treatment is irrelevant as all distributions are tax-free regardless of their character. This is not tax advice. Consult a tax professional about your specific situation and account type before making investment decisions.

About the fund
Strategy & Objective
Kurv · Monthly
TSLP aims to generate monthly income while providing exposure to the price returns of Tesla stock (TSLA), subject to a cap on potential gains. The fund utilizes a synthetic covered call strategy via standardized exchange-traded and FLEX options, which consists of three elements: i) synthetic long exposure, ii) covered call writing, and iii) short-term fixed income instruments. The synthetic long exposure seeks to replicate the price movements of TSLA by purchasing and selling at-the-money calls and puts with one-month to one-year terms. To generate income, the fund writes out-of-the-money call options with similar expirations and a strike price approximately 5%-15% above TSLA's share price. This limits participation in potential gains if TSLA shares increase in value. The short put positions fully expose investors to the downside of the stock. The fund may also invest directly in TSLA shares and the combined direct and synthetic long position will not exceed 100% of net assets.
