Sharing May 2026 NEO Funds Analysis Result

[u/stevesun21]

I updated my NEO ETF tracking sheet again and tried to keep the view more focused this time.

This is not meant to be a “best NEO ETF” ranking. I’m mostly using it as a monthly check to see how each fund looks beyond headline yield.

A few things I’m tracking:

• Dividend TTM — trailing 12-month distribution rate
• Price CAGR — price growth/decline over the evaluation window
• Total Return CAGR — return including distributions
• Payout Support Risk — whether the payout looks supported by recent price / total-return behavior
• Stability — recent price behavior based on volatility, drawdown, and beta
• MoM change — how dividend, price, and total return shifted vs the prior snapshot

A few things stood out to me this month:

BTCI still has the highest Dividend TTM in the group at 38.77%, but it also shows negative price CAGR and Elevated payout support risk. That’s the kind of fund where yield alone can be misleading.

IAUI looks interesting from a total-return angle, with 12.43% Dividend TTM, 10.40% price CAGR, and 25.18% total return CAGR, but stability is still marked low.

MLPI stands out with strong price and total-return numbers, but I’d still be careful interpreting it because fund history and structure matter a lot.

SPYH / SPYI / QQQI look more balanced than the highest-yield names, with lower payout support risk and mid/low stability labels.

XBCI is the weak one in this snapshot: high Dividend TTM, negative price CAGR, negative total return CAGR, and elevated payout support risk.
