I find the rise of covered call ETFs such as [[QYLD]], [[HSPX]], and [[RYLD]] quite interesting as the strategy is essentially two in one: long equities, short volatility. Overall, these strategic ETFs have yet to see their moment in the sun as most have underperformed their non-call-selling peers, but may eventually see better performance.
These ETFs pay very high dividends that increase in periods of high volatility and decrease in periods of low volatility, allowing investors some downside protection. The catch? You also lose most of the upside if the underlying equities break out. In
