QDPL: An Alternative Strategy To 4x Dividends

QDPL's strategy allows you to 4x the dividends of the S&P 500. But at what cost? The fund sacrifices 10% S&P 500 exposure for higher synthetic dividend income, using Treasuries as collateral for S&P Dividend Futures. The comparison with buy-write (like XYLD and JEPI) becomes interesting: they have a lower total return but larger cash flows.

DIVO Vs. QDPL: Retirees Should Look Beyond Total Returns

DIVO has consistently proven itself since its launch in 2016 as a fund that offers 4–7% yields at lower volatilities compared to the overall market. A pandemic environment increased demand for income-oriented investments, leading Pacer ETFs to develop QDPL—a unique fund that offers 4X the S&P 500's yield using dividend futures. Dividend futures are not risk-free. Despite recent outperformance, analysis of long-term backtests suggests that QDPL will perform more similarly to DIVO with higher volatility.
