In plain terms — Aberdeen Multi-Market Income Fund
Shares currently cost about 7.0% less than the value of the assets behind them (a discount).
Over the past year it has averaged a 7.7% discount, so today's level is somewhat wide for this fund (Z-score -1.3). That describes the past; it does not predict where the discount goes next.
It pays regular distributions worth about 11.2% a year of the share price (10.5% 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 $1.07 of assets — a ReinvestCapture™ rate of 12.1%, more than the payout rate itself. That is buying power, not a return.
The assets themselves fell 1.7% over the past year including distributions (NAV total return).
