IYLD: Attractive Distribution Yield But Poor Total Returns

The iShares Morningstar Multi-Asset Income ETF (IYLD) pays a 5.9% trailing distribution yield but has only achieved average annual returns of 2.5% over 10 years. The gap between the distribution yield and historical performance suggests that the IYLD ETF is an amortizing 'return of principal' fund, which should be avoided.
