In plain terms — Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund
Shares currently cost about 10.1% less than the value of the assets behind them (a discount).
Over the past year it has averaged a 8.4% discount, so today's level is not wide for this fund (Z-score -0.6). That describes the past; it does not predict where the discount goes next.
It pays regular distributions worth about 9.3% a year of the share price (8.4% of the assets). That is a payout rate, not a return: part of it may be capital being handed back.
Because the shares trade below the value of their assets, each dollar of reinvested distributions buys about $1.11 of assets — a ReinvestCapture™ rate of 10.4%, more than the payout rate itself. That is buying power, not a return.
The assets themselves grew 22.7% over the past year including distributions (NAV total return).
