TSPY offers ~13% yield, which might not sound too promising in terms of the ETF being included in durable retirement income portfolio. Typically, anything that exceed, say, 8% to 10% yield range carries elevated risks on both dividend and value sustainability front. However, I have still included TSPY in my 'high yield/medium risk' portfolio bucket - a portfolio designed for durable retirement income extraction and gradual snowballing.
Selling 0 days-to-expiry (0DTE) covered calls offers high income and upside potential with less downside protection compared to monthly covered call funds. TSPY's active management approach generated consistent distributions yielding 14% while outperforming both ISPY and the S&P 500 in total returns. ISPY's passive, formulaic strategy provides predictable returns but suffers from volatile distributions, making TSPY a potential superior alternative if performance continues.
