I added Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF to my all-income portfolio for its stability, low expense ratio, and strong NAV growth. GPIQ outperformed peers in price over the past year despite a lower yield, supported by an options strategy covering 25–75% of the portfolio. The fund offers stable monthly distributions, averaging $0.42/share, with a tax-favorable return of capital composition ideal for taxable accounts.
December opened with a big shakeup in the ETF landscape, with Goldman Sachs announcing a major acquisition. The firm has concluded a deal to acquire Innovator Capital Management and its defined outcome ETFs to the company's ETF side.
Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF offers retirees a compelling blend of high yield (9.4%) and exposure to top Nasdaq-100 companies. GPIQ employs a dynamic option writing strategy, balancing income generation with participation in market rallies, while limiting downside from interest rate or credit risk. Although GPIQ underperforms traditional index ETFs like QQQ in total return, its monthly payouts are stable and tax-efficient, appealing to income-focused investors.

Our strategy is finely tuned to investors looking for focused exposure rather than diversification, as our fund operates with a non-diversified status.
