KNG Potentially Safer Than JEPI
I have been a strong advocate for the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF, emphasizing its potential benefits for retail investors. Another ETF that promises a similar strategy and has delivered great results is now vying for JEPI's spot in my portfolio. The FT Vest S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Target Income ETF appears as a potentially safer alternative, with tax efficiencies, conservative holdings, and a different options strategy.
