HYLD $2,024 QMAX $2,142

Both start at 2023-10, the first month they share — comparing from each fund's own inception would give the older one a head start. Each view is scaled to itself, so read the amounts rather than the steepness. Before tax and commissions.

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.

Comparing more than two?

The dashboard's Compare tab takes as many funds as you like — a column each, the same measures as above, with the price lines overlaid on one chart.

Overlapping holdings

HYLD holds QMAX directly, at 28.0% of its portfolio. Owning both is not diversification — it concentrates you further into QMAX, and you pay HYLD's fee on top of QMAX'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.
