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.

QYLD Vs. RYLD: Embrace The Fear With QYLD
Since my last writings, the implied volatilities (IV) for both the NASDAQ and Russell indices have risen to quite extreme levels. This offers favorable pricing for both RYLD and QYLD's use of options. The current IV is even more extreme for QYLD's underlying index, judging by historical records.

QYLD: The 14% Yield Won't Be Enough If The Market Doesn't Rebound Before May
QYLD's single-leg covered call strategy has led to significant underperformance compared to the Nasdaq 100, limiting its potential for capital appreciation. Despite a high yield, QYLD's strategy has resulted in a decade of lost growth, making it less appealing compared to other ETFs with multi-leg strategies. Market volatility and trade uncertainties pose significant risks to QYLD, potentially keeping its share price depressed for an extended period.

QYLD: Why A High Nasdaq 100 Volatility Index Is A Good Thing
I maintain a hold rating on QYLD, noting that high implied volatility in QQQ boosts dividend yields through larger option premiums. QYLD has underperformed the S&P 500, returning 8.3% in the past 15-plus months, but remains a safer play amid market volatility. The Nasdaq 100's high volatility and lower valuations for the Mag 7 suggest QYLD could benefit from its covered call strategy.

QYLD: A Fund That Carries More Risk In The Current Market Environment
The options strategy QYLD uses is not ideal for the kind of more volatile market conditions the indexes are currently seeing. Even though this fund should pay more income in the short term, the principle of this ETF. The managers of this Global X fund do not use discretion with their options strategy, so this ETF will likely have a harder time adapting to more fluid market conditions.

QYLD: The Nasdaq Buy-Write ETF I Tend To Avoid
Buy-write ETFs like Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF offer high income but lack capital preservation, making them less ideal compared to JEPQ and GPIQ. What concerns me is not the fund itself, which is transparent and well-structured with a rules-based approach, but rather the strategy behind it. QYLD's 100% covered-call strategy limits its ability to capitalize on Nasdaq-100's growth, leading to long-term capital erosion.
