Hi there,
The best ETF for your portfolio will very much depend upon your personal situation. For example, HVST is a great product for investors in pre-retiree and retiree mode (as well as those with SMSFs) as it provides a very strong franking outcome (which for those investors on low tax rates can act as additional performance for "free). As such for those investors the fund is very much a long term hold (particularly if they use the DRP).
If you're looking for international exposure but also wanting a bit more income you may want to check out BetaShares' UMAX fund - it provides exposure to US shares but pays a higher yield of approx. 5.5% which is much higher than you would get on the shares alone.
If it's yield you're after and thats' your primary concern than YMAX and HVST are worth a look..
