My QYLD Pair Trade Hasn't Delivered Much, But I Won't Be Switching To QQCC
QYLD and other Global X covered call ETFs offer high yields without relying on obscure companies, making them attractive, especially for those cautious about current market valuations. QYLD and QQCC's monthly options strategy makes them less vulnerable to short-term volatility compared to same-day option expiry ETFs like QDTE. My pair trade of Shorting Nasdaq 100 Futures against QYLD has only delivered a small profit in the past year. However, the combo can still deliver income approaching ~15% if there's a pause in the bull market run.
QYLD: Tech Exposure With A Double-Digit Yield
Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF offers high dividends but limited upside due to its covered call strategy, making it less ideal for total return-focused investors. QYLD has underperformed compared to broader market indices like the S&P 500 and NASDAQ, delivering a total return of 140% since inception versus NASDAQ's 550%. The ETF's 0.6% expense ratio is justified by its complex option strategy, but its historical underperformance raises questions about its value.
QYLD: Buy The Fear As Volatility Returns
I am upgrading Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF to 'Buy' due to my anticipation of the return of market volatility. Higher volatility can boost option premiums for QYLD but tends to dampen the return potential of equity. My assessment is geared toward the near term only, and I suggest investors only use the Fund as a tactical tool.
QYLD: Why Global X Should Change Its Strategy Even Though The Yield Exceeds 11%
QYLD's covered call strategy delivers consistent double-digit yields but caps upside potential, limiting capital appreciation and rebound ability in bullish markets. Despite reliable monthly distributions and $8.67 billion AUM, QYLD's strategy faces increased competition and underperformance compared to newer ETFs like QQQI. QYLD's price erosion and capped upside make it less appealing; Global X should consider updating its strategy to remain competitive.
Covered Call ETF (QYLD) Hits New 52-Week High
For investors seeking momentum, Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF QYLD is probably on the radar. The fund just hit a 52-week high and has moved up 17% from its 52-week low of $15.91 per share.
QYLD: Big Yields Come With Bigger Pitfalls
Diversified portfolios with high yields often compromise on capital, leading to NAV degradation, as seen with QYLD's persistent price decline and poor performance. The longest running study on covered-options strategy demonstrates that these ETFs erode investors' total capital over time due to insufficient income generation and reliance on capital returns. QYLD lost almost 1/7th of its market cap due to sub-par options writing in 2023. The ETF may never recover, and I recommend a "strong sell".

After two years of annual gains topping 20% for the S&P 500, Wall Street experts anticipate a moderate performance in 2025.
QYLD's Impact on NDX, NVDA & Silver Connection
Kevin Green highlights where SPX bulls can have a confidence, "for now." As for the NDX, he says a duller market day can give the Nasdaq-100 Covered Call ETF (QYLD) enough power to shake up the index.
QYLD Vs. SCHD: Only One ETF Is A Good Option In Retirement
High yield covered call funds like QYLD appeal to retirees with lower required savings and promising dividends to cover living expenses. But, QYLD's 12% yield looks unreliable for retirement due to inconsistent and non-growing distributions when adjusted for inflation, making monthly budget planning a nightmare. SCHD provides a much better deal with consistent dividends growing at 11% a year, beating inflation long-term.
QYLD: This Fund Is Positioned To Outperform The Broader Indexes After The Election
QYLD tends to outperform in an market environment where volatility levels are elevated. The growth outlook remains weak and political uncertainty remains, fear levels should stay elevated. This income based ETF should continue to outperform in the current economic and political environment.
Keep QYLD Option Roll on Radar After Strong Open Thursday
According to Kevin Green, liquidity is giving bulls enough room "to hang their hat on," but one name could plunge markets: the Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF (QYLD).
QYLD: More Alternatives To Consider (QQQI And QDTE)
QYLD ETF writes ATM call options on the Nasdaq 100 Index to generate high distribution yields. However, its strategy is flawed and underperforms over the long run. Compared to QYLD, QQQI's flexible mandate to vary overwritten percentages and use call spreads offers superior performance and higher distribution yield than QYLD. QDTE's 0DTE call options strategy may capture more day-to-day returns and generate significantly higher income than QYLD.
