Pro
Charts, simulated holdings and every backtest trade are part of Pro
The numbers above are open to everyone: return, income, drawdown and the trade-off against
the benchmark. Behind this card there is the rest of the backtest: performance and income charts, the funds the
simulation holds today, every simulated trade, the detailed metrics, the heatmap, the drawdown analysis and the
reason for each rotation — plus the switches for taxes, payout and amount at the top. All of it is a simulation
on past prices, published for study, never a suggestion to trade.
Simulated on historical prices and distributions, with amounts converted to euro at the daily exchange rate.
Gross figures apply no tax.
Trading commissions are not included. The S&P 500 is the Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF (VUSA)
with distributions reinvested. 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

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.
