Current option strikes allow QQQI to capture premium with limited risk of being called away, given only a 17–26% chance of expiring ITM.

The NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF (QQQI) employs an active, tax-advantaged covered call strategy distinct from typical buy-write funds.

The fund's high distribution yield is largely driven by capital appreciation, not sustainable income.

Why QDVO Could Outperform QQQI In The Growth Income Space
