The arithmetic

Where the figures came from

Every one is public at sec.gov and free to check. That is the point — you should not have to take our word for any of it.


Computed by an open pipeline reading SEC XBRL directly. If any number here looks wrong to you, tell us — that is more useful to us than agreement.

What the net investment income payout ratio measures, and where every company here sits on it.

Also on: rated comfortable · when it files.
