Pro
The full analysis of your portfolio is part of Pro
The income it would pay and the value it reached are open to everyone. Pro adds the
performance and income charts, the fund-by-fund table, the monthly log, the detailed metrics, the heatmap and
the drawdown analysis — plus your own taxes and commissions applied to every figure, and up to 20 funds.
Buy and hold: every fund is bought once at the start, at the closing price of the last trading day of the month,
and never sold. Reinvested income goes back into the fund that paid it. The simulation starts in the first month
in which all the funds you chose were available. Expected income assumes each fund keeps paying what it paid in
the last 12 months (annualised for younger funds): distributions can change at any time. Amounts are converted to
euro at the daily exchange rate; trading commissions are not included. Past performance is not a reliable
indicator of future results.
Important information. Master of Yield is an independent research tool. All content on this
site, including fund data, screeners, scores, model portfolios and backtests, is provided for information
and education only. Nothing here is investment, legal, tax or accounting advice, nor a recommendation or
solicitation to buy, sell or hold any financial instrument. We are not a broker, a bank or an authorised
investment adviser, and we have no knowledge of your personal circumstances. Any investment decision you
make is yours alone: consult a qualified adviser before acting.
Our approach. Our model portfolios follow a purely quantitative, rules-based method focused on
income. Funds are selected, ranked and rotated by statistical criteria applied mechanically: price erosion
since inception, sustainability of distributions, dividend growth, yield and total return. No discretionary
judgement or view on individual companies or markets is involved, and the same rules apply to every fund.
About the backtests. Portfolio results are hypothetical simulations run on historical data, not
records of real trades or of any real account. Among other simplifications, they assume every fund could be bought
and sold at its month-end price with no spread, commission or market impact; they show figures before tax
unless you set your own tax profile under "Taxes", where you choose your country and can adjust every rate and
the commission your broker charges per trade — those figures are an estimate, not a tax calculation; and they
convert every amount to euro at the daily exchange rate. The fund universe only
contains products that exist today, so funds that closed in the past are missing, which tends to flatter
results. Many funds have short histories, so some results cover only a few years of a largely rising market.
Rules may be refined over time and each refinement is applied to the full history, so past results can
change. Past or simulated performance does not guarantee future results, and every investment can lose
value, including the capital invested.
