Vanguard FTSE Canadian High Dividend Yield Index ETF (VDY)

Hamilton U.S. Equity Yield Maximizer ETF (SMAX)
Q: I am considering purchasing one of the ETF's for income as well as total return potential over the next 3-5 years. Which one you do you believe has more value?
5i Research Answer:
On the belief that markets will be OK, we would side with VDY today. We think SMAX is fine for income, but it may lag in a market rally in terms of total return, as covered call positions get called away.
