QMAX vs SMAX
Hamilton Technology YIELD MAXIMIZER™ ETF against Hamilton U.S. Equity YIELD MAXIMIZER™ ETF — on the numbers that decide which one you keep.
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.
Side by side
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
These funds share 12 holdings, about 49% of each by weight. That portion is double-counted exposure: holding both concentrates you into the same names rather than spreading risk across more of them, and a shock to any one of those companies hits both positions at once.
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.
