Why IGA Remains My Pick Over SPY For 2026

Voya Global Advantage and Premium Opportunity Fund nearly matched SPY's 2025 total return, delivering 17.2% with lower volatility and a smoother ride. IGA's value bias, international diversification, and covered call strategy generated a 10.49% forward yield, outperforming SPY if dividends were reinvested. SPY's concentration risk has intensified, with the top ten holdings now at 40% and I.T. sector dominance rising, increasing vulnerability to momentum reversals.

IGA: Flawed Global Dividend Fund

Voya Global Advantage and Premium Opportunity Fund offers a 10.4% yield but struggles to consistently cover distributions with earnings. IGA's option-writing strategy limits capital appreciation and leads to underperformance versus traditional dividend ETFs over long horizons. The fund trades at a 5.97% discount to NAV, narrower than its five-year average, making it relatively expensive historically.

IGA: Discount Continues To Narrow Helping Total Returns

Voya Global Advantage and Premium Opportunity Fund (IGA) maintains a 'Hold' rating from me, as its discount narrows even further. IGA's monthly payout exceeds a 10% distribution rate, which the fund has been able to cover since our last update. The fund's value-oriented, globally diversified portfolio offers exposure outside the U.S., with financials as the largest sector, followed by industrials and healthcare.

IGA: Strong Performance From Foreign Exposure And Fully-Covered Distribution

IGA offers high income (10.34% yield) and equity exposure, outperforming bonds in total return and inflation protection. The fund's global mandate allows it to capitalize on outperforming foreign markets, though it is currently overweight U.S. equities versus global indices. The fund appears to be trying to take advantage of an uptick in global military spending, which may be a smart move.

Playing Defense - SPY Vs. IGA, A Reprise

SPY faces significant risks, including high valuations, tech concentration, geopolitical issues, and the potential for a 'lost decade' with modest returns.

IGA: Good Diversification And Fully-Covered Distribution (Rating Upgrade)

The Voya Global Advantage and Premium Opportunity Fund offers a high 10.74% yield, outperforming major domestic equity and fixed-income indices, making it attractive for income-focused investors. Despite its high yield, the IGA closed-end fund's five-year total return of 42.35% is disappointing, ranking near the bottom of its peer group. The fund's recent performance includes an 11.70% share price increase over thirteen months, but it underperformed the S&P 500 Index's 27.95% gain.
