Q: Looking at the idea of adding covered call ETFs to add some income. Understand how they work, can you recommend a few to take a look at and maybe why?
5i Research Answer:
HYLD is an enhanced CC fund (25% leverage) that is diversified by sector and offers a high yield. ZWU is a utilities CC fund so should be less volatile than other sectors. HDIV is also enhanced and multi-sector. RCDC is multi-sector. It is fairly small right now, but growing. QQQI is focused on the Nasdaq 100, and all of its distributions are considered return of capital, which is interesting from a tax planning viewpoint. SPYI is similar, focused on the S&P 500.
