JEPI, DIVO, and GPIX each pay near 8% monthly yields while growing share price by writing calls on only a portion of holdings.
GPIX has beaten SPY with an 80% return since its 2023 launch by capping its options overlay at just 25 to 75% of the portfolio.
DIVO's tactical options sleeve delivers a lower 6% yield but drives 72% five-year price appreciation, nearly matching SPY's gains.
Two retirees, same $1 million, same 4% rule, buy one finished with $1.4 million, the other hit $0 in 12 years. Our free reader guide explains the flaw that separated them, and the income-first method built to avoid it.
Covered call ETFs have a reputation problem. For years, the category was defined by funds like QYLD and XYLD that wrote at-the-money calls on entire index portfolios, harvested rich premiums, and quietly bled principal every time markets rallied. Investors got their monthly check and watched their share price drift lower. That is the trap worth avoiding.

A $100,000 stake in QYLD returned 170% over 12 years while QQQ gained 652%, leaving holders with a six-figure gap in realized wealth.
JEPQ and GPIQ use partial option coverage instead of QYLD's 100% overlay, preserving more NAV while sacrificing some monthly income.
QYLD's distributions have dropped 24% since 2021 and its NAV has gone sideways for a decade, quietly undermining the 12% headline yield.
It sounds nuts, but SoFi1 is giving new Active Invest users up to $3,000 in stock for a limited time, and all it takes is a $50 deposit to get started.2 See for yourself (Sponsor)
Twelve years of monthly distributions and a double-digit yield sound attractive. But for long-term holders of the Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF (NASDAQ:QYLD), that income has come at a significant cost. The fund has generated plenty of cash, but its share price has barely moved. Compared with simply owning a plain Nasdaq-100 index fund, the opportunity cost now stretches well into six figures on a $100,000 investment.

This ETF is still popular, despite having a devastating flaw
The ETF has not recovered after cratering in 2022, and yet investors still buy it
The culprit is a legacy architecture that newer ETFs avoid. Here's why you should stop buying this and buy the newer ones
Act now: the ******* yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and GPIQ didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
High-yield ETFs are very popular during the AI market rally, as dividend investors feel they are missing out on all the action. Thus, they are buying ETFs like the Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF (NASDAQ:QYLD) to make up for the "lost" gains. They get not just the dividends but "exposure to the Nasdaq-100."
