Financial journalist opinion

AIPI: Income From The AI Bubble

AIPI offers high income through covered calls, appealing to investors seeking immediate yield and exposure to AI sector growth. While AIPI outperformed the S&P 500 since inception, it lagged the AIQ ETF, which shares similar holdings but no income strategy. The fund's covered call approach limits upside in strong rebounds but cushions downside during market stress, balancing risk and reward. The fund has impressed over passively managed income funds.

AIPI: A Superior Covered Call Fund, But Not Without Its Risks

AIPI offers a ~35% yield by selling covered calls on volatile AI-related stocks, using a semi-dynamic laddered approach for risk/reward balance. The fund's performance has outpaced most covered call peers and matched or slightly lagged major indices, with a 22% total return since inception. High yield requires reinvestment of distributions to maintain capital, as NAV can be volatile and exposed to downside risk in market crashes.

AIPI: Holdings Interesting, Strategy Not So Much

AIPI focuses on generating high income through covered call strategies, prioritizing yield over capital appreciation for investors seeking steady payouts. The ETF writes slightly out-of-the-money calls, enhancing income in flat or declining markets but capping upside in bullish conditions. AIPI targets AI-focused companies, balancing direct AI revenue leaders with key ecosystem enablers for diversified exposure.

AIPI: Not Convinced Of The Fund's Strategy

AIPI's performance has been disappointing, with a 23.4% price decline since inception and distributions not offsetting the price drop, raising concerns about its portfolio strategy. The fund's option strategy, blending OTM and ATM options, hasn't effectively capitalized on significant price movements in its holdings, questioning management's income generation ability. The fund's high dividend yield of 34.8% is unsustainable, with distributions primarily being a return of capital, not net investment income, indicating potential long-term issues.

AIPI: A Well-Constructed Fund With Some Elevated Risk

The best investments endure over time, revealing weaknesses during market adversity, as seen with recent equity sell-offs due to Trump's tariff strategy. Covered-call funds, significantly impacted by market volatility, have evolved over the last decade, showing varied payouts and total returns during sell-offs. Elevated risks are associated with tariffs, currency fluctuations, and lack of diversity, particularly affecting investments tied to China and manufacturing.

Dividend Harvesting Portfolio Week 213: $21,300 Allocated, $2,128.72 In Projected Dividends

Despite market volatility and a -2.8% GDP growth projection, I continue to invest, seeing short-term headwinds as opportunities for long-term gains. The Dividend Harvesting Portfolio's profitability declined by only -0.70% compared to the S&P 500's -2.8%, showcasing its resilience and effective diversification. Weekly capital allocation and reinvestment of dividends have increased the portfolio's forward projected annualized dividend income to $2,128.72, with a 25.18% return on invested capital.

Dividend Harvesting Portfolio Week 209: $20,900 Allocated, $2,045.84 In Projected Dividends

Despite market volatility, my Dividend Harvesting Portfolio increased by 1.36%, showcasing the effectiveness of diversification in mitigating downside risk. I added to positions in Blue Owl Capital Corporation and Rex AI Equity Premium Income ETF, focusing on long-term potential and income generation. The portfolio's dividend income continues to grow, with a YoY increase of 48.22% in February, reinforcing the strength of my investment strategy.

AIPI: Laggard In The AI Space, Unsupported Distribution

REX AI Equity Premium Income ETF, a new AI-focused buy-write ETF, underperforms peers like AIQ and MAGS, delivering only a 4% total return since inception. The fund falls in the buy-write space, owning 25 equities and writing individual covered calls on the portfolio. AIPI's structure, with full overwrite and 1-month calls, limits upside and relies solely on option premiums, offering poor risk/reward figures.

GPTY Vs. AIPI: Choosing The Safer ETF For 30%+ Yields From AI Stocks

YieldMax AI & Tech Portfolio Option Income ETF is offering 36% yields annualized in the form of weekly payouts. These payouts are not worth it when considering GPTY's risks stemming from unpredictable stock and options selection. REX AI Equity Premium Income ETF offers similar yields paid monthly from a similar strategy of selling options on AI stocks.

Dividend Harvesting Portfolio Week 206: $20,600 Allocated, $2,001.49 In Projected Dividends

The Dividend Harvesting Portfolio achieved a 27.65% ROI, generating over $2,000 in forward dividend income despite exiting XIFR and WBD positions. I reallocated capital to income-producing assets like AIPI, UTG, BP, SCHD, ARCC, AGNC, and PDI, enhancing portfolio diversification and income stability. The portfolio's diversified structure mitigated downside risk, maintaining growth and income despite macroeconomic challenges and dividend suspensions.
