ICAP: High Yield, But Quality Remains Questionable

Infrastructure Capital Equity Income ETF (ICAP) presently offers a high 9.12% distribution yield, but recent reports and metrics reflect a heavy contribution of capital gains for funding these distributions. ICAP's absolute performance has been strong, yet it has underperformed benchmarks since inception, along with its current SEC yield being only ~ 3.5%, raising concerns about distribution durability and quality. ICAP has a high management expense of 0.8%, while total expenses further reaching over ~2%-2.5%, which could lead to a meaningful return drags.
