How YCM works

YCM is a split corporation: a closed-end fund that splits a portfolio of Split from a portfolio of dividend-paying stocks; issues $5 Class I and Class II preferred shares plus capital shares stocks into two classes of shares with different risk-return profiles. Preferred shares — YCM.PR.A, YCM.PR.B — receive a prioritized, cumulative monthly dividend; Class A shareholders give up that priority in exchange for a much higher yield.
