A high distribution rate doesn't automatically mean a high return. One of the biggest mistakes investors make is confusing the two. The most important question isn't, "How much income did I receive?" It's, "What is the full picture?" Total return, NAV performance, distribution composition, tax treatment, risk, and income all matter. At TappAlpha, we believe investors deserve clear, apples-to-apples comparisons so they can look beyond the headline number and focus on the metrics that matter most to their goals. #Investing# #ETF# #InvestorEducation# #FinancialEducation# #TotalReturn# Disclosure This content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice or a solicitation to invest.

Stocks are significantly outperforming housing over the US over the long run: Since 1975, the S&P 500 has delivered an average annual total return of +12.2%. This is more than double the +5.1% annual gain in US home prices over the same period. Even without reinvesting dividends, the S&P 500 has still returned an average of +9.3% per year, outperforming house price appreciation. After adjusting for inflation, the gap is even wider, with the S&P 500's real total return at +8.3% over the last 50 years, nearly 6 times the +1.4% real annual return of US home prices. At the same time, the S&P 500 excluding dividends and adjusted for inflation has returned +5.4% per year, on average. Stocks have been a far more powerful driver of wealth creation than housing.
