Bold marks the more favourable figure where one direction is unambiguously better — a higher yield, a lower fee, fewer reductions. Most rows have no better side: a higher return of capital is neither good nor bad on its own, it changes when you pay tax rather than how much you earn.

Overlapping holdings

HYLD holds EMAX directly, at 2.6% of its portfolio. Owning both is not diversification — it concentrates you further into EMAX, and you pay HYLD's fee on top of EMAX's own.

See this across everything you hold.

Overlap only tells the whole story once every holding is in one place — with combined income projections on your real units.
