Some investors get rich while others struggle because they never realized that there are two completely different strategies for building wealth. Don’t make the same mistake, learn about both here.
A new type of exchange-traded fund is gaining popularity along with retail’s fascination with options trading. ETF likes JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSEARCA: JEPI ), JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ:JEPQ)and NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF (NASDAQ: QQQI ) will show you your favorite indexes and hand you your monthly salary. Two years ago, an ETF that gave you high single-digit or even double-digit returns, let alone the Nasdaq-100 or the S&P 500, would have been a pipe dream.
There are ETFs with these characteristics today, and there are many options. Because of the juicy yields and growth potential, retirees and income investors are increasing their exposure to these ETFs.
We’ll examine three such popular ETFs that systematically write calls and then send you checks. Together, they raised billions in 2024. and until now in 2025
The JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF is an actively managed fund that generates monthly income through a two-part investment strategy. Its portfolio consists mainly of US large-cap stocks from the S&P 500 index.
JEPI uses an options overlay strategy by selling (writing) out-of-the-money options on the S&P 500 index. The Fund does not write these applications directly, but rather buys Equity-Linked Notes (ELNs) that provide economic profit from these call options.
You will be giving up most of your potential growth in exchange for the income from the option premiums. At the same time, you mainly face the risk of negative effects. This strategy has worked wonders as the market has grown steadily over the past two years.
JEPI has a dividend yield of 8.35% and an expense ratio of 0.35%, or $35 per $10,000. The ETF itself is down 2% for the year, net of dividends.
The JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF is another actively managed ETF. It provides exposure to Nasdaq-100 stocks and the strategy is quite similar to JEPI.
