Exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows reached a record $1.9 trillion in 2024, driving total ETF assets up to $14.7 trillion. Despite this growth, investors seeking higher yields are facing challenges due to 10-year U.S. Treasury yields hovering around 4.4%. Traditional ETFs are struggling to compete in this environment, leading to a shift towards innovative strategies that offer better returns.

Three standout funds are reshaping the income investing landscape by providing yields that surpass conventional options. These funds utilize advanced covered call strategies on major indexes, converting volatile markets into steady monthly income streams.

The Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF (QYLD) tracks the CBOE NASDAQ-100 BuyWrite V2 Index. With assets totaling $8.38 billion, QYLD boasts an annual distribution rate of 14.13%, paying out distributions on a monthly basis. The fund holds positions in all stocks in the Nasdaq 100 Index and simultaneously sells call options on the index to cover 100% of its portfolio. While this strategy generates a robust income stream, it limits upside potential during sharp market rallies. QYLD has an expense ratio of 0.6% and has seen a 8.7% decrease year-to-date.

The NEOS S&P 500 High Income ETF (SPYI) is managed by NEOS Funds and began trading in August 2022. This ETF, with $3.9 billion in assets, offers a 12-month distribution rate of 12.65%. It tracks the S&P 500 Index but takes an active approach by holding the index’s stocks and implementing a collar strategy involving the purchase of put options in addition to selling call options. This strategy aims to preserve more upside potential in case of a market breakout. SPYI has an expense ratio of 0.68% and has decreased by 2.4% year-to-date.

The ProShares S&P 500 High Income ETF (ISPY) stands out with its high-frequency approach to covered call strategies. Tracking the S&P 500 Daily Covered Call Index, ISPY writes fresh out-of-the-money call options every trading day, utilizing swap agreements to maximize option premium capture. This daily reset strategy aims to capitalize on rapid time decay of daily options, providing elevated income and some downside protection in choppy markets. ISPY boasts a 12-month distribution rate of 12.82% and charges an expense ratio of 0.55%. The fund has decreased by 7.9% year-to-date.

High-yield covered call ETFs like QYLD, SPYI, and ISPY offer investors an attractive way to boost monthly income, although they may sacrifice some growth potential for generous payouts. Given the current volatile investing landscape, these ETFs are likely to remain relevant for income seekers in 2025.
