When QYLD Makes Sense And When It Doesn't

QYLD offers high income with a balanced payout approach, but NAV erosion remains a concern over the long term. Total returns from holding QQQ and self-generating income outperform QYLD, even after accounting for withdrawals. QYLD only meaningfully outperforms QQQ during sharp market corrections, not during consolidations or bull markets.

The Hunt for Yield: Enhanced Income ETFs Thrive in a Low-Upside Market

Coming off stellar gains from last year, many entered 2025 expecting limited upside. But upside may be even more limited following the recent rebound in equities as the tariff rhetoric cools.

QYLD: The Fund's More Rigid Approach Isn't Working In The Current Market Environment

I am downgrading Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF to a sell due to its rigid, outdated covered-call strategy and consistent underperformance versus peers. QYLD's strategy of selling at-the-money calls on 100% of its portfolio each month limits upside and fails to adapt to market volatility. Newer covered-call ETFs like GPIQ and QQQI use more flexible, discretionary strategies, delivering superior total returns and income with similar risk.

Evaluating GPIQ Against Covered Call Peers QYLD And QDTE

Investor interest in Covered Call funds has grown substantially in recent years. Capital is increasingly piling into these vehicles, represented by rising AUM. I've not previously evaluated GPIQ, which has its own unique characteristics: primarily a ~50% average covered call ratio. GPIQ charges a low expense ratio (versus peers), but it's lower fee versus QYLD is likely attributable to lower covered call exposure.
