In plain terms — Nuveen Variable Rate Preferred & Income Fund
No daily net asset value is published for this fund on our feed, so we cannot say whether it trades above or below its assets.
It pays regular distributions worth about 10.9% a year of the share price. That is a payout rate, not a return: part of it may be capital being handed back.
