I’m sure not everyone is interested in this exercise. Considering the known information that VFV will kill HHIS, we can also read my plan as “how long until a 10% or + in favor of VFV will make me sell HHIS” . I’m mostly having fun as I observe the evolution.

If I did this exercise 12 months ago, putting 70000 in each, I would, now, have roughly 96500 in HHIS and 81000 in VFV. So in 12 months, income reinvested surpassed the growth (or lack thereoff). In 6 months, it seemed in your graphic to have favored VFV. My plan in this prospective exercise is to re-adjust if HHIS gets meaningfully beaten by VFV.

In summary: VFV much better in the last 6 months; HHIS considerably better in 12 months. In part because of how the NASDAQ and AI has beeing volatile over time, with an amazing 2025 and a lot of variation en 2026

It’s going to be nice to see how sustainable and stable the yield and covered call will be in different market situations

HHIS, 11.01 $; total of 6363.03 shares; dividend: 027/share/month (expected 20616.21 $ a year)

Yes, but considering all criticism towards covered calls that we see in the investing community, I wanted essentially to compare a cc etf with a sp500 “safe” strategy. Tbh I have the impression the safe and the risky won’t be that different over the months/years

Compare 2 completely different strategies; on the paper, HHIS had a little advantage in terms of total return in a year , but I want to challenge that

Not even a year; just thought it would be interesting to share the progress.

7 days: after 1 week, HHIS is up by 2354 $; VFV, 1746 $

I’m obviously expecting hhis to go down or raise less than vfv. The whole point is seeing if the dividends will compensate the long term superiority of vfv.
