VettaFi's Head of Research Todd Rosenbluth discussed the NEOS Enhanced Income 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF (CSHI) on this week's “ETF of the Week” podcast with Chuck Jaffe of “Money Life.” For more news, information, and analysis, visit the Tax Efficient Income Channel.
CSHI focuses on t-bills with a small allocation to S&P 500 put option spreads, offering a 5.0% yield and low volatility. The ETF provides slightly higher income and risk than t-bills. Small losses can occur during particularly severe downturns. There have been small, temporary losses in the past, none lasted for more than a month.
The ETF effectively navigated the recent sharp market correction, showcasing its robust risk management and the effectiveness of its laddered put spread options strategy. CSHI's active management of S&P 500 put spreads generates a consistent excess spread over treasury bills, providing a higher yield than comparable cash-equivalent ETFs. The structure of CSHI's put spreads provides a defined downside buffer, limiting potential losses during market declines, and the short-dated nature of the options reduces volatility.
Markets capitulated Monday on renewed recession fears following weekend comments from the current administration. Investors looking to position defensively in cash or cash-like strategies would do well to consider the the NEOS Enhanced Income 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF (CSHI).
This week on NEOS Investments' Monthly Inocme Podcast, ETF industry veteran Tom Lydon was joined by NEOS' co-founders and managing partners Garrett Paolella and Troy Cates to discuss buy-write and covered call strategies.

Stocks are holding firm near all-time highs. But Wall Street can't ignore the record amounts of cash still parked on the sidelines.
2025 may prove another strong year for ultra-short duration strategies, given the complex market and economic environment. Advisors and investors wanting to put money to work while hedging against duration risk should consider the NEOS Enhanced Income 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF (CSHI).
A broad array of strategies now exist for income investors looking to expand or diversify their portfolio. Understanding the different types of yield and what they measure may allow for better alignment with desired investment outcomes.
The Neos Enhanced Income Cash Alternative ETF has delivered a 5.45% total return in 2024, aided by the equity market rally. CSHI employs an options overlay strategy with S&P 500 put spreads, posing a risk if the index drops more than -6% as its current composition highlights. Despite an active management and a 46 bps yield over T-Bills, the ETF's risk in a black swan event makes it a 'Hold'.
Fed interest rate cuts continued this month, causing many investors to look to opportunities in longer duration bond strategies. However, Fed Chair Jerome Powell also reinforced the regulatory agency's cautious approach to rate cuts, particularly looking ahead.
CSHI invests in T-bills and S&P 500 option spreads to generate premiums and income. It's strategy results in a 5.9% yield, slightly higher than that of t-bills. Risks are marginally higher too, although there have been no real drawdowns since inception. CSHI is a solid cash ETF, but with cuts looming, investors might consider transitioning away from these in the coming months.
