What is HGI's Income Quality Score?

As of the July 31, 2026 public snapshot, HGI (HGI) has an Income Quality Score of 46 out of 100, classified a Question Mark.

Is HGI a Friend, Question Mark or Foe?

HGI is classified a Question Mark under the Income Quality Score framework, based on long-duration distribution and total-return history. This is a research classification, not investment advice.

How safe is the HGI distribution?

A Question Mark is an income asset with a mixed or incomplete quality record — some income-quality signals are strong while others are weak, or the available history is too short to classify with confidence. It warrants a closer look rather than a conclusion.

Distributions per year, from the frozen distribution-stability signal. “Lower total” means the calendar-year sum was smaller than the prior year (often a special-distribution rolloff or timing shift), but did not decline more than the engine's 10% material-decline threshold — see Years Cut above for years that did.
