Forget JEPI. NEOS's S&P Income Fund Returned 14.46% Over the Past Year Against JEPI's 8.75%.

A newer, lesser-known S&P 500 income fund has been quietly outpacing JEPI by a wide margin, but its short track record raises a question every retiree relying on monthly payouts needs to answer before making a move.

GPIX Vs. SPYI: Which S&P 500 Income ETF Wins Into 2027

The Goldman Sachs S&P 500 Premium Income ETF and NEOS S&P 500 High Income ETF offer distinct income and growth profiles via different option strategies. GPIX, with lighter option coverage (35%), outpaces SPYI in price appreciation and is preferred for capital growth through 2027 amid market volatility. SPYI, covering 64.5% of its portfolio with calls, delivers a higher 12.2% yield, making it optimal for investors prioritizing immediate income.

SPYI: Income Potential Vs. The Alternative

SPYI's 12% yield looks compelling, but much of the distribution ultimately comes from capital gains and option premiums rather than traditional portfolio income. Tax-efficient distributions and strong cash flow make SPYI attractive for income seekers, but investors should not mistake distributions for economic yield. Historical returns closely resemble those of a similar portfolio, which I discuss in the article and which raises questions about whether SPYI's fees justify its income-focused structure or not.

Boomers are buying into the promise of monthly income from options ETFs, but there's a tax catch

Covered call ETFs have risen in popularity in recent years with older investors, particularly retirees, willing to give up some market upside for a monthly income stream. ETFs are generally tax-efficient investment vehicles, but because these funds distribute income in various forms, the potential tax hit is easy for investors to miss until IRS form 1099-DIV arrives.

JEPI Out, SPYI In: What the Swap Does to a $1.08 Million Income Portfolio
