FTQI - FTQI: Hit By The Big Drawdown, Better Alternatives Exist

2025-05-21 07:12:23 ET

Summary

• FTQI offers double-digit yields, but lacks downside protection, suffering significant drawdowns similar to QQQ during market selloffs.
• BUYW and JEPQ are better alternatives for income investors seeking more diversification and improved total return performance.
• JEPQ stands out with a 57% three-year total return, outperforming both FTQI and the S&P 500 in the referenced period.
• I rate FTQI as Hold — it's suitable for short-term yield seekers, but less compelling than newer, better-performing option income ETFs.
