Period score = (rank − 1) ÷ (eligible count − 1). This is the fraction of other eligible investments ahead of this one, from 0 (none ahead) to 1 (all ahead). It makes standings comparable when the two periods have different peer counts. A single eligible investment scores 0.
Lower scores come first. A stronger period cannot cancel a weaker one.
The lower combined score comes first when the weaker-period scores match.
The longer period is the weaker standing, setting a ranking score of 0.8222. Lower scores rank first.
Income Factory shares an overall rank when the weaker-period and combined scores match to eight decimal places. Within that shared rank, higher longer total-return rate, then higher recent total return, then ticker A–Z determine display order.
For DBL, the longer total-return tie-break is +1.5378% annualized; the recent total-return tie-break is -2.6922% cumulative.
Total return = 100 × (ending adjusted close ÷ starting adjusted close − 1). Price return = 100 × (ending split-adjusted close ÷ starting split-adjusted close − 1). Distribution contribution = total return − price return.
Annualized return = 100 × ((1 + total return ÷ 100)^(1 ÷ years) − 1), with years measured as elapsed days ÷ 365.2425. Histories under one year are never annualized. Peer returns are compared to eight decimal places; score sorting uses unrounded fractions. Numbers above are rounded for display.
Distribution contribution includes all provider-recorded distributions and reinvestment effects. “pp” means percentage points of the initial investment; this is not dividend yield, payout coverage or a forecast of income. Each investment is compared with eligible peers over its own exact dates, so peer counts can differ. No quality, valuation or risk factors are added to this calculation.
This explains the collection’s default ranking. Search, category filters and chart periods do not change it; choosing another sort changes the list order. This is Income Lens’s calculation, not a score published by the strategy creator.
