Looking at the following two monthly div stocks

ETO - Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fun
0.18/2.16 10.6%

ETG -Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund
0.11/1.23 8.8%

Both Stocks have the same chart pattern. Wouldn't it be best to get ETO with the higher yield?

Any ideas why one would be better then the other?

The question, to me, would be why is there a difference? Does the chart pattern appear similarly back through the Great Recession? What are the portfolio investment principles for each? Is one riskier than the other? Is the difference in yield due to global distribution of investments? Currency a factor? Risk profile different? Does one use leverage and not the other?

I would dig a little deeper but that's me.
