In plain terms — RiverNorth Opportunistic Municipal Income Fund
Shares currently cost about 5.8% less than the value of the assets behind them (a discount).
Over the past year it has averaged a 5.1% discount, so today's level is not wide for this fund (Z-score -0.3). That describes the past; it does not predict where the discount goes next.
It pays regular distributions worth about 7.8% a year of the share price (7.4% 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 $1.06 of assets — a ReinvestCapture™ rate of 8.3%, more than the payout rate itself. That is buying power, not a return.
The assets themselves fell 2.9% over the past year including distributions (NAV total return).
Annual costs are 6.03% of assets.
