Distribution yield refers to the potential income or earnings an investment may generate over a certain period. It is often used to measure the income earned by investors from mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), or real estate investment trusts (REITs). The
distribution yield shows the percentage of the investment's market price that is distributed to investors as regular payments, such as dividends or interest. Essentially, it shows how much money an investment could provide to its investors.
