Well.. yesterday wasn't a very fun day in the markets. 🥲 While most said September was going to be a bad month in the markets, it seems like it was delayed by a month and instead it was October being the bad month. Though there's still 1 more week left in the month, and it's a packed one. Among the names reporting earnings next week will be: Visa, Google (Weds), Microsoft (Weds), Amazon, Eli Lilly, Mastercard, Intel, Sandisk, Exxon, Chevron, and others. Then not to mention also a Federal Reserve interest rate decision in the middle of the week on Wednesday, Oct 28th. The week after on November 3rd will then be the U.S. midterm elections. So.. there's going to be lots of catalysts to move the markets in the coming weeks! As for crypto, it's kind of been stuck in this range. Bitcoin seems to have hit a ceiling around the mid-$80K range and can't seem to get through it yet. This past month it is down -5.16%. ---------- As of the inception date Jan 16 2025 to the close of October 22nd 2026 .. 📈 HHIS Total Return: +32.55% with 2026 YTD being +11.19% 📈 QQC Total Return: +34.39% with 2026 YTD being +17.31% Starting this month onwards I'll be including some new charts to showcase this section, and that's because of the new FREE resource I've built in the last few months is now available: https://coveredcalldirectory.com/go/b This has been a project I've spent countless hours on and have funded all myself so far. But I hope that the result is something you can all find useful and would like to support through Ko-fi. Many thanks to those who have donated so far! ☕ But back on topic, shown below will be a few charts to compare the performance between HHIS and QQC. Just be reminded that they are not direct comparisons, as one is a concentrated mix of mostly tech + crypto and while the other one is the Nasdaq index itself. In the first chart it will be the 'Total Return' between HHIS and QQC. This would be the price return, plus all the distributions received as cash without reinvestment. And with this recent sell off, it has now brought their returns since inception within ~1.84% of each other. The next chart will then be the 'Compound Return' and that is where all the distributions were then reinvested back into the ETF for more shares. And in this case, HHIS is outpacing QQC by about ~6.23% overall since inception. That's not to say all has been rosy though, because your timing plays a role too with the returns that you see. And that's where the next 2 charts will show you the 'Total Return' and 'Compound Return' for 2026 year-to-date. And while HHIS is behind in returns for this time period, it has been slowly gaining ground on the index. I think if we see crypto continue its rally through this $80K range and towards year end, it'll potentially help HHIS overtake QQC. No guarantees though of course! For fun, I also attached what it would look like based on a $10,000 investment at inception for both of them, and your HHIS position would have grown to approximately $14,077 so far. If you'd like to generate your own charts to share like these ones, you can find the 'Share' button on the right-side above the chart on the website. 🙂 Now for what you're here to see.. the distribution amounts! 🟢 PLTE increased +11.11% to $0.50 (Previously $0.45) 🟢 SHPE increased +26.32% to $0.24 (Previously $0.19) 🟢 TDHE increased +6.67% to $0.16 (Previously $0.15) 🔴 CCOE decreased -19.23% to $0.21 (Previously $0.26) 🔴 AEME decreased -8.00% to $0.23 (Previously $0.25) 🔵 LLYH stays the same at $0.14 🔵 AMZH stays the same at $0.16 🔵 MSFH stays the same at $0.12 🔵 NVDH stays the same at $0.20 🔵 LLHE stays the same at $0.165 🔵 AMHE stays the same at $0.20 🔵 MSHE stays the same at $0.14 🔵 NVHE stays the same at $0.25 🔵 MSTY stays the same at $0.08 🔵 CONY stays the same at $0.13 🔵 TSLY stays the same at $0.15 🔵 METE stays the same at $0.15 🔵 AMDY stays the same at $1.15 🔵 AVGY stays the same at $0.35 🔵 CNYE stays the same at $0.15 🔵 COSY stays the same at $0.10 🔵 GOGY stays the same at $0.30 🔵 MSTE stays the same at $0.09 🔵 NFLY stays the same at $0.10 🔵 APLE stays the same at $0.22 🔵 CRCY stays the same at $0.16 🔵 HODY stays the same at $0.20 🔵 RDDY stays the same at $0.15 🔵 SOFY stays the same at $0.12 🔵 HHIH stays the same at $0.185 🔵 BLKY stays the same at $0.24 🔵 CRWY stays the same at $0.45 🔵 JNJY stays the same at $0.15 🔵 JPHE stays the same at $0.14 🔵 NOVY stays the same at $0.15 🔵 ORCY stays the same at $0.20 🔵 SPXE stays the same at $0.30 🔵 HHII stays the same at $0.16 🔵 BCEE stays the same at $0.14 🔵 CNQE stays the same at $0.26 🔵 ENBE stays the same at $0.13 🔵 RYHE stays the same at $0.14 🔵 SUHE stays the same at $0.27 🔵 TEHE stays the same at $0.07 🔵 HHIC stays the same at $0.20 🔵 🧺 HHIS stays the same at $0.27 Ex-Dividend Date: October 30th Pay Date: November 6th A relatively small list of updates for this month compared to the past few! And really, for the U.S. side of things it's just Palantir that's going to be seeing an increase. In the past month it's currently up +2.24%, but it's seen a strong recovery over the last 6 months at +38.43%. This has brought it's IV back to an elevated level, along with the underlying stock appreciation. Next up is Shopify, and this one has been a whipsaw after it was decreased last month, it's now recovered and increased higher than the previous distribution amount of $0.21. This has had a strong month going +18.34% and is basically at their all-time high, so that probably had something to do with it.. 😂 The same can be said for TD Bank and its performance as well. In the past month it is up +3.13% and also is at their all-time high. What a great time it's been for the Canadian banks. For the two decreases it'll be in Cameco and Agnico Eagle Mines. After what was an amazing 2025 for both of them where Cameco was up over 78%, and Agnico Eagle was up over 116%, they've been somewhat struggling this year. Cameco is down -14.92% in the past month, and Agnico Eagle is down -10.89%. And now for those who are interested in the AUM comparisons, here are some of the other popular covered call ETFs and their current AUM since the last time I posted about these: 🔵👑 HHIS - $2213.51M (Previously $2084.38M) 💰 HDIV – $1977.2M (Previously $1943.8M) 💰 HYLD – $1376.0M (Previously $1400.7M) 💰 HDIF – $570.13M (Previously $572.37M) 💰 QQCL – $381.21M (Previously $387.39M) 💰 BIGY - $380.82M (Previously $386.11M) 💰 USCL – $246.68M (Previously $249.64M) While there isn't any movement this month, there are some notable changes to be aware of. And it's the result of something I had to pay close attention to as I built the ETF pages for the Covered Call Directory. You'll actually see this up above in the AUM number for HHIS, and that's going to be the notable jump when compared to last month's value. Through the exercise of inputting all the ETFs into the Covered Call Directory, this is actually a common occurrence that providers have done when they have multiple classes of a fund -- and that is to show the combined AUM total between all of them. As HHIS has a USD counterpart in HHIS.U it looks like they've now also decided to combine their AUM totals together, which is likely why there is a decent jump this month in AUM value. I could be mistaken, but I'm fairly certain it is a recent change if it wasn't something they changed in this past month. They aren't alone on this list too, because HYLD also does this where HYLD.U's AUM is part of a total combined value as well. So this is just something to now keep in mind as it does skew the comparisons a bit going forward. Consider giving a follow if you don't want to miss a future post. And don't forget to check out the Covered Call Directory as well, because all the latest distributions from above have now been updated on there. Thanks and I'll see you next month! 😄🍻 [Edit: Looks like the middle 2 charts are switched, the total return chart YTD should be before the compound chart YTD!] https://harvestportfolios.com/harvest-high-income-shares-etfs-announces-october-2026-distributions/

Anyone else not excited about earnings this time around? Even if they hit it out of the park, the market is acting mostly negatively towards most earnings reports.
