The dividend yield on the largest plain vanilla S&P 500 ETF is just 1.03%, reflecting the fact that yield on the domestic equity benchmark recently hit its lowest levels on record. Of course, that dwindling yield is the result of the index's rise, but it also leaves income investors wanting more, well, income.

If you hold the NEOS S&P 500 High Income ETF (NASDAQ:SPYI), you own it for one reason: a monthly distribution tied to the S&P 500 that clears roughly 12% annualized without asking you to sell equity.

NEOS Boosted S&P 500 High Income ETF offers 150% notional S&P 500 exposure with a high annualized distribution target of 15–18%. XSPI's strategy amplifies both upside and downside, but option writing caps gains, making it less efficient for long-term capital appreciation. Amplified downside risk and capped upside limit XSPI's appeal to income-focused investors with existing growth ETF exposure; not suitable as a core holding.

Income remains top of mind for financial advisors. But increasingly, it's not just about generating more yield.

The NEOS Boosted S&P 500 High Income ETF earns a Hold rating due to regime concerns despite structural advantages over its Nasdaq counterpart. XSPI's ~150% leveraged covered call strategy offers improved upside capture with less volatility drag, benefiting from the S&P 500's broader, less concentrated exposure. XSPI outperforms in bull markets and V-shaped recoveries but struggles in choppy or flat markets where volatility drag and expenses erode returns.

The NEOS Nasdaq-100® High Income ETF (NASDAQ:QQQI) has become one of the more crowded trades in monthly income, drawing capital with a distribution rate near 14.60% and a Section 1256 tax angle that appeals to taxable accounts.

With the S&P 500 up 9.84% year-to-date and seemingly hitting all-time highs on almost daily basis, it's understandable that many market participants aren't paying much attention to the index's dividend proposition — or lack thereof. The benchmark domestic equity gauge yields around 1.

Covered call ETFs offer attractive monthly yields, often exceeding 10%, appealing to income-focused investors. Most top covered call ETFs are heavily concentrated in large-cap growth, specifically S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 exposures. This concentration introduces significant risk, as these ETFs exhibit strong performance correlations and similar downside profiles.

There's an ongoing shift in how investors access income through ETFs. No longer is sourcing income a pursuit centered solely on fixed income assets.
