Income is not the same as return. Distribution yield measures cash paid to investors; total return also includes price changes. Compare both, especially for option-income and other high-distribution funds.

Alpha Rankings
Was each fund worth owning, compared to just holding what it's secretly made of? Every night we build the portfolio of plain index ETFs that most closely matched each covered fund's daily total returns, then rank the funds by alpha — what they earned beyond that copycat recipe.
Loading rankings…
Alpha is a statistical estimate, not a promise — only promising and reliable leftovers are ranked. Funds whose recipe fits too poorly, whose leftover looks like noise, or that are themselves a benchmark building block are listed separately. Option-strategy effects may not be fully captured by a linear model. Nothing here is investment advice. Coverage: funds held in at least five Dividend Vision accounts (privacy-filtered — only ticker symbols are read) or searched enough in the last 30 days. A missing ticker card means the fund is not yet in the analysed set, never that its alpha is zero.
