#31 of 80 eligible investments on these dates.
30 investments have a higher return.
(31 − 1) ÷ (80 − 1)≈ 0.3797
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.
Use the weaker period
max(0.1979, 0.3797)≈ 0.3797
Lower scores come first. A stronger period cannot cancel a weaker one.
Add the two period scores
0.1979 + 0.3797≈ 0.5777
The lower combined score comes first when the weaker-period scores match.
SCHY places #31 of 100
The longer period is the weaker standing, setting a ranking score of 0.3797. Lower scores rank first.
Remaining tie-breaks & return formula
If both scores tie, higher longer total-return rate comes first, followed by higher recent total return. Investments equal on both scores and both returns to eight decimal places share a rank; ticker A–Z only orders those tied rows.
For SCHY, the longer total-return tie-break is +9.3629% annualized; the recent total-return tie-break is +19.8741% cumulative.
Total return = 100 × (ending adjusted close ÷ starting adjusted close − 1). The period standings compare cumulative total returns on the same dates. Annualization is only used for the longer-return tie-break.
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.
This ranks observed total-return consistency, not business quality, dividend safety or expected future return. 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.
