UMAX
Hamilton Utilities YIELD MAXIMIZER™ 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 UMAX 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. UMAX has reduced its payment 22 times since inception.
