PGP: PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund
PIMCO · CEF - Fixed Income
Growth of $100
Green is what an investor who reinvested every payout would have; red is the price alone. The gap between them is the income. If the red line keeps falling, the payouts are partly your own money coming back.
Was the payout earned?
Over the last year PGP paid 10.1% but returned +5.9% in total, so about 57% of the payout was earned; the rest came back out of the fund's own value (its price fell).
| Earned % (3 months) | below -100% |
| Earned % (1 year) | 57% |
| Earned % (full history, up to 5 yrs) | 21% |
Earned % = total return ÷ payouts. 100% means every dollar paid out was earned; below 100% means part of it came from the fund's own value. This is an economic measure based on market price, not the tax label on the payout.
