Tax Considerations for High-Income ETFs

Return of Capital (ROC)

  • • NEOS ETFs may include ROC in distributions
  • • ROC reduces your cost basis (not immediately taxable)
  • • Final ROC amounts available in year-end tax documents

Income Planning

  • • Consider holding in tax-advantaged accounts when possible
  • • Monthly distribution frequency may complicate tax planning
  • • Consult tax professionals for personalized advice
