HAMILTON comparison.

HYLD

* Monthly distributions.
* Current indicated yield is around 12%, though yields can change over time.

Pros

* Most diversified.
* Lower concentration risk.
* Good “one-fund” income ETF.

⸻

SDAY

⸻

CDAY

Which would I choose?

Since you’ve previously mentioned that you’re investing for long-term growth while eventually building monthly income, here’s how I’d think about them:

* Best all-around: HYLD — diversified and simpler.
* Best for growth + income: QDAY (if you’re comfortable with higher volatility).
* Best balanced U.S. fund: SDAY.
* Best Canadian income: CDAY.

One detail you missed. They own the stocks directly with no options writing on the portfolio and therefore no cap. The 25% leverage buys an additional single index holding with options writing only on that part. Pretty unique among similar cc ETF’s. Own all three with CDAY the largest. In addition all three have high levels of ROC and tax friendly income which makes me very happy at tax time.😬
