HYLD
Hamilton Enhanced U.S. Covered Call ETF
Price vs total return
Three outcomes from the same holding: the unit price alone, the price plus distributions kept as cash, and the price with every distribution reinvested. The gap between the top two lines is compounding.
What would HYLD cost for the income you want?
Work backwards from a monthly target, and see what that same position would have paid since the fund launched.
Reinvestment assumes each distribution buys more units at the closing price on its pay date, with no commission and fractional units allowed — a real DRIP rounds down to whole units, so the totals are a slight overstatement. Unit counts are shown rounded down, and the monthly income is calculated on them. Before tax throughout. HYLD has reduced its payment 1 times since inception.
Fund details
* Effective fee, calculated by us rather than published. HYLD holds other funds, so the figure is its own charge plus the weighted management fees of everything it holds. The issuer publishes 0.00%, which is true and not comparable — you pay the underlying fees either way.
The fund's own wording: subject to the fees of the underlying portfolio ETFs.

100% of this distribution was return of capital — untaxed on receipt, but it reduces your cost base. What that means.
