In plain terms — Invesco Municipal Income Opportunities Trust
Shares currently cost about 1.6% more than the value of the assets behind them (a premium).
Over the past year it has averaged a 1.0% discount, so today's level is somewhat high for this fund (Z-score +1.4). That describes the past; it does not predict where the discount goes next.
It pays regular distributions worth about 6.1% a year of the share price (6.2% of the assets). That is a payout rate, not a return: part of it may be capital being handed back.
Because the shares trade above the value of their assets, each dollar of reinvested distributions buys about $0.98 of assets — a ReinvestCapture™ rate of 6.0%, less than the payout rate itself. That is buying power, not a return.
The assets themselves fell 3.1% over the past year including distributions (NAV total return).
