HDIV — Outperforming S&P/TSX 60 with a Higher Yield (3 Years Later)
Just over three years ago, we launched the Hamilton Enhanced Canadian Covered Call ETF (HDIV) (formerly the Hamilton Enhanced Multi-Sector Covered Call ETF), Canada’s first enhanced “all-in-one” covered call ETF. HDIV invests in a portfolio of our YIELD MAXIMIZER™ sector covered call ETFs and has a sector mix “broadly similar” to the S&P/TSX 60. We believe HDIV is most attractive to investors seeking a higher income…

HYLD – Adding QQCC, USCC / Reducing QYLD, RYLD, XYLD; Change in Distribution
The objective of our ETFs, HDIV and HYLD, is to provide “attractive monthly income”. To accomplish this, we aim to create higher income ETF versions of the S&P/TSX 60 and S&P 500, respectively. Given the sector mix of the S&P/TSX 60 and the S&P 500 are highly complementary, and the two equity markets have related but different drivers, we believe there are benefits to holding a…
HDIV and HYLD – Performance Update; (Still) Working Well Together
In this insight, we provide an update on the performance of the Hamilton Enhanced Multi-Sector Covered Call ETF (HDIV) and the Hamilton Enhanced U.S. Covered Call ETF (HYLD).

HDIV and HYLD – Working Together (as Shown in One Chart)
Before we talk about HDIV/HYLD, we wanted to highlight the launch of the Hamilton Canadian Financials Yield Maximizer ETF, or HMAX. This covered call ETF is ~75% Canadian banks and has an initial target yield of 13%+, paid monthly. This materially higher yield will be supported by an options coverage ratio of ~50% (higher than most covered call ETFs) and writing options at-the-money (versus out-of-the money).…
HDIV – Adding HMAX, Selling ZWB for Higher Yield and Lower Fees
Our overall goal for the Hamilton Enhanced Multi-Sector Covered Call ETF (HDIV) and the Hamilton Enhanced U.S. Covered Call ETF (HYLD, HYLD.U) is to create higher income ETF versions of the S&P/TSX 60 and S&P 500, respectively. As part of these two funds, we have modest cash leverage of 25%, the purpose of which is to help mitigate the yield/return trade-off inherent in covered call strategies,…
HYLD – Adding JEPQ, Selling TXF for Higher Yield, Added Diversification, Lower Fees
For HDIV and HYLD, we aim to create higher income ETF versions of the S&P/TSX 60 and S&P 500, respectively. Investors in HYLD will recall we recently swapped HBF for JEPI (see HYLD – Adding JEPI, Selling HBF for Higher Yield, Added Diversification, Lower Fees for additional information). Today’s insight discusses our next meaningful adjustment to HYLD’s portfolio, and why we believe it will help better…
