Financial journalist opinion

HIPS: Not A Buy And Hold, 10% Yield

The GraniteShares HIPS US High Income ETF (HIPS) tracks the EQM High Income Pass-Through Securities Index, equally weighting 40 holdings across MLPs, BDCs, CEFs, and REITs. HIPS is a volatile, risk-on fund with a 3-year standard deviation of 14.2% and a Sharpe ratio of 0.42, experiencing significant drawdowns. Due to NAV erosion in components like Annaly (NLY), which lost 50% in price over a decade, HIPS is not ideal for long-term holding.

HIPS: Return Of Capital Distributions Can Be Good

HIPS offers a high dividend yield of 10.8% and monthly distributions, making it attractive for income-focused investors, especially retirees. The fund blends REITs, CEFs, MLPs, and BDCs, aiming for tax-efficient distributions with at least half as return of capital. Higher interest rates negatively impact HIPS, but lower rates could boost its performance, making it a potential buy for long-term investors.
