Option overlay funds (mostly covered call ETFs) play a critical role in my income-oriented portfolio. Through these vehicles I can enhance my overall portfolio yield and obtain exposure to asset classes that tend to be underrepresented in income portfolios. In this context, NEOS Investments vehicles are my favorites.
NEOS Enhanced Income Credit Select ETF is rated Hold for income-focused investors seeking alternatives to traditional high-yield credit. HYBI offers an 8.4% forward yield, tax efficiency via 1256 contracts, and professional options management, but lacks long-term public history under NEOS. The ETF provides diversification through three bond ETFs and an options overlay, with a relatively low 0.68% expense ratio.
NEOS Enhanced Income Credit Select ETF offers high-yield income by investing in high-yield bond ETFs and writing SPX put spreads. HYBI currently yields 8-9% with monthly distributions, but its portfolio leans toward riskier, below-investment-grade bonds. The fund's expense ratio is capped at 0.68%, and its performance is closely tied to the health of high-yield credit markets.
