XRMI - NUSI: Buy This 8% Yielding ETF That Has Some 'Sweet' Protection

• The Nationwide Risk-Managed Income ETF uses an options collar strategy to simultaneously offer investors a high income with the possibility of some downside protection among volatile Nasdaq-100 stocks.
• My statistical analysis of six strategies shows that NUSI's strategy, while proprietary, is likely to offer the best protection when the Nasdaq-100 falls more than 2.5% in any given month.
• Investors are reminded that the Nasdaq-100 has performed this poorly only 18% of the time since January 2008, and NUSI will need a catalyst to outperform QQQ going forward.
• However, that catalyst could be stalled revenue growth. While the Nasdaq-100 has terrific profitability grades, constituents' most recent revenue surprises were tiny.
• Irrespective of NUSI's 7.82% yield, I favor this ETF as a risk management tool, as I predict it will outperform QQQ even if the Index stays flat in the near term.
