Which funds have an underlying stock or index that is gaining strength: a confirmed
trend over the last one to nine months, backed by short-term technical signals. It looks at the asset the
fund writes options on, not at the fund itself.
The summary above is open to everyone. the full list of underlyings and their signals — with search, filters and sorting — comes with a free account. No password: we send you a sign-in link.
SignalCandidate: the underlying is in a confirmed medium-term uptrend (above its 50- and
200-day averages, positive 1-to-9-month returns) and at least most of the short-term signals agree.
Partial: only part of this holds.
SignalsHow many of five short-term confirmations are present: RSI, MACD, price above the
20-day average, rising volume and ADX trend strength.
TrendStrong: returns accelerating over 1, 3 and 6 months. Recovering: the last month turned
positive after a weak quarter. Declining and Flat: no upward phase.
Check the fund, not only the underlyingA strong underlying does not fix a fund that is
eroding. The last two columns refer to the fund itself: a momentum signal next to an eroding fund is a
warning, not an opportunity. * = the underlying is an approximate proxy.
This screener is in an observation phase: its signals are recorded over time before any conclusion
on their reliability is drawn. Not investment advice.
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.

and is not independently verified. No warranty is given as to its accuracy, completeness or timeliness.
