QYLG: Gets The Job Done But Underperforms Peers (Rating Downgrade)

Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF offers high monthly income and Nasdaq-100 exposure but underperforms peers in total return. QYLG's covered call strategy writes options on 50% of assets, capping upside but providing an 11.3% yield and stable distributions. Compared to QYLD, GPIQ, and QQQI, QYLG lags in total returns due to its less flexible, at-the-money option approach.
