How the business works
Dividends received from mortgage REIT holdings become ETF net investment income after expenses. Each REIT's own earnings, leverage and mortgage marks are a separate layer and affect ETF net asset value.
Extras are shown separately and are not assumed to repeat.

Reported earnings and sources
Reported earnings for the latest four periods. Compare the same earnings measure across periods; different measures are not added together.
Cash distributions are the total paid per share during each reporting period, including any gains or return of capital. Period lengths may differ, so compare the dates before comparing amounts. Short periods are not annualized.
NAV change excludes distributions. Reported NAV total return includes reinvestment and is copied from the fund statement, not estimated by adding cash distributions to the NAV change.
How to compare these annual periods
The fund changed its financial year-end from April to December in 2024. The eight-month transition remains in the dated table and is excluded from annual charts. Each annual observation covers a full year; compare its dates as well as its value.
Dividends received after fund expenses help explain recurring income. Realized gains and return of capital are separate sources of distributions.
Watch dividend changes in the holdings and NAV over time. A high distribution rate does not guarantee stable capital.
Income and distributions
Income and cash distributions per share for the same dated periods. Shorter periods are kept separate and are not annualized. Dividends received after fund expenses help explain recurring income. Realized gains and return of capital are separate sources of distributions.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, MORT reported $0.51 of net investment income and $0.36 of distributions per share. Net asset value slipped from $10.52 to $10.36. ETF income exceeded cash paid, but the lower ending value still points to the mortgage holdings' capital results.
Portfolio interest and dividends, realized investment results and any derivative activity contribute to distribution resources after expenses. Taxable income and cash distributions can differ from reported net investment income.
The earnings available to shareholders depend on the cash generated by these activities after operating and financing costs. Portfolio gains, financing proceeds and recurring income should be evaluated separately.
VanEck Mortgage REIT Income ETF reported $0.5100 per share for 2026-01-01 to 2026-06-30, measured as Fund net investment income per common share; actual reporting period, not annualized.
Actual per-share reporting period, without annualisation. Net investment income, realized gains, unrealized changes and cash distributions are different measures. This comparison is not the Fly High forward Dividend Coverage Ratio.
Income and capital are exposed to real-estate credit, financing costs and underlying dividend cuts.
Watch for changes in the underlying exposure and the next reported results before treating the current payment as evidence of continuing earnings support.
Payments can change and can include gains or return of capital. A high trailing yield does not establish earnings coverage or total return.
Watch for changes in the underlying exposure and the next reported results before treating the current payment as evidence of continuing earnings support.
