Switching from CLX to a peer is not always straightforward — a higher yield peer often carries a lower safety score, and vice versa. Tax treatment can diverge too: check whether CLX dividends are qualified before assuming a peer's headline yield is comparable after tax. The table below ranks each alternative by how closely it matches CLX on both dimensions simultaneously, so you can see the full yield-vs-safety tradeoff at a glance.
