2 Covered Call ETFs You Should Ditch Before It's Too Late

Covered call ETFs offer abnormal income and access to asset classes lacking yield, though downside protection is rarely effective in practice. Alpha generation is not the goal; these funds suit investors prioritizing high income or absolute return over chasing alpha. However, not all covered call ETFs can do this job.

GPIQ With QQQH: Building Protection Against A Potential Nasdaq-100 Decline

Rising inflation and geopolitical risks prompt a shift from pure growth to a more defensive Nasdaq-100 strategy. I recommend reducing GPIQ exposure by 50% and reallocating to QQQH, creating a balanced portfolio with structural downside protection. GPIQ offers higher beta and yield in bull markets, while QQQH's collar strategy cushions losses during moderate drawdowns.

QQQH: How NEOS Ruined A Good ETF, And It's Starting To Show

NEOS Nasdaq-100 Hedged Equity Income ETF often fails as a defensive tool, capturing significant market losses despite its purported "trap door." Selling puts creates a "wildcard" risk; if the Nasdaq-100 drops below the strike price of those puts, QQQH remains fully exposed. The strategy prioritizes monthly distributions, often sacrificing principal recovery and failing my "Avoid Big Loss" investment rule.

QQQH: A Tax-Efficient 9% Yield At A Time When Valuations Are Stretched

NEOS Nasdaq-100® Hedged Equity Income ETF is a fund that uses covered calls and other options to generate a 9% yield from the NASDAQ-100, an index that yields only 0.45%. The fund employs a put spread collar strategy, balancing premium income generation with capped upside—well-suited for today's frothy market. Current NASDAQ-100 constituents are high-quality and (for the most part) growing quickly. But at 40 times earnings, much of their future growth is being paid for.

Advisors and investors familiar with the famed Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX) and the various ETFs tracking that gauge know the benchmark and the related funds have delivered stellar long-term gains due in large part to outsized exposure to large-cap technology stocks. One thing NDX is not known for is income.

QQQH: Tax-Efficient Income That Hedges Downside Risk

NEOS Nasdaq-100 Hedged Equity Income ETF offers a 9% yield with monthly, tax-efficient distributions and partial downside protection via a put spread strategy. QQQH directly holds Nasdaq-100 constituents, providing exposure to top tech names, but caps upside growth due to its out-of-the-money option writing approach. The fund underperforms QQQ in strong bull markets and during rapid, deep pullbacks, making it best suited as an income-focused, complementary holding.
