The management fee was 0.85% a year, or about $85 for every $10,000 held. The options overlay is run inside the fund, so there is no separate fee, though it changes the return and distribution profile. Trading spreads are separate from this fee. This is the management fee as published by the provider; the total expense ratio can be slightly higher once fund operating costs are added.
Mostly capital gains
The full distribution tax character, plus what you keep after tax in a TFSA, RRSP, or non-registered account, is on the Real Yield report card.
