SPXX: Covered Call CEF With Long History Of Stability
SPXX offers a high 7.8% yield using a covered call strategy, making it ideal for investors seeking supplemental income alongside traditional S&P 500 ETFs. The fund's dynamic option writing provides resilience during downturns and steady distributions, but caps upside, leading to long-term underperformance versus SPY. SPXX is best used as a portfolio complement for income, not as a core holding, due to its lower total return compared to traditional index funds.

SPXX: Key Considerations Before Investing

SPXX: Downgrade On Market Valuations
Nuveen S&P 500 Dynamic Overwrite Fund writes call options on the S&P 500 Index to deliver attractive distributions. The SPXX fund has exceeded expectations in recent months, delivering 65% upside capture since December. While its 9% discount to NAV remains attractive, I worry the fund does not offer enough downside protection given stretched valuations in equity markets.
