SPXX: Attractive Valuation On This Steady Income Fund

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.
