Q: Which high yield fund do you prefer between FFN and HMAX?

Asked by Andrew on February 23, 2026

5i Research Answer:

FFN has better returns over thee years (the longest comparable period) but a split share fund is very different than an ETF. Dividends will stop if net asset value breaches a trigger point. Thus we prefer HMAX.
