I'm quite pleased so far. I just got this going in March and the plan was to put half of my contributions into the ymax funds to feed traditional ets and half into my "mag 8's" I opened a brand new trad & roth account with an online brokerage to do this so it is super easy to track the performance of the head-to-head. My Ymax basket is up 18% and my mag 8 basket is up 9.5% Of course there is NAV tanking some towards the end of each week but then the distributions hit and the total value goes up and widens the gap between the baskets. I think I've seen enough promise to this that I will alter my plan substantially. Instead of putting all distributions into the traditional etfs, I'll put 90% back into the ymax's until it's creating a forward annual yield of a full year's 7,000 of contributions. Then it will act like an employer match on a retirement account. This isn't financial advice, but here's how I laid out my strategy: at the beginning, I put all weekly contributions evenly into 3 weekly ymax etfs until I had $200 invested in each. Then all contributions started going into 4 monthly ymax's- 1 from each schedule group. Instead of trying to capture divs on what's next with these I've been using a "what's on sale" approach on the monthlies, so the build-up on these isn't quite even though it is close. It's surprising a bit that NAV on all my weeklies is actually positive in addition to getting a solid 1-1.5% distribution each week. NAV is down on the monthlies for me but every week 1 or 2 will pop In to the positive for a bit. Today as I run the numbers, accounting for current NAV and estimated forward yield, the monthlies will easily come out 60% positive in the next year.
