Volatility and dispersion are the likely key themes for 2026. The sky-high valuations and increasingly shaky economic/financial fundamentals support that view. At the same time, the market's "put mechanism," which has made the buy-the-dip strategy work since really the GFC, has not disappeared.

Even with an impressive run that's seen the MSCI EAFE Index easily outpace the S&P 500 since the start of last year, the widely followed gauge of ex-US developed market equities sports a trailing 12-month dividend yield of 3.36%, or about triple what's found on the domestic benchmark.

The market seems to be increasingly punctuated by notable volatility spikes, while the broad indices (and AI names) struggle to justify their valuations. This is the necessary setup for covered call ETFs to come in and shine. However, there is a huge caveat (not that visible risk), which, if not properly considered, might lead covered call investors to be disappointed.

Investors are currently adopting a more conservative stance, favoring high-quality value and durable income. However, this rotation coupled with lower interest rates echoes a bit 2022's system-wide yield compression (when high-quality income was overcrowded due to a desparate search-for-yield activity). So, finding double digit dividends that are backed by strong fundamentals has become more difficult.

In an easing monetary policy environment, yields start to fall in line with rate cuts. Bond investors might be seeking to supplant the income they've grown accustomed to.

The ETF industry continues to see significant growth and product proliferation. Few segments within the ETF landscape have seen as much interest in the last few years as income ETF strategies.
