VPC - Nationwide Risk-Managed Income ETF (NUSI): A Lower Risk Approach For 7.5% Yield Equity Income

• NUSI is another of these new ETF options that produce a high amount of income as a way of attracting new assets from yield hungry investors.
• The fund pays a healthy 7.3%+ dividend yield but that is not earned, instead paid out of gains from the underlying index (the Nasdaq 100).
• That is fine so long as the market continues to rise, but will be problematic if/when it falls.
• The charts below show how it mitigated the losses when the market tanked in March 2020, but also limited the upside to pay for that downside outperformance.
