Covered call and option-income ETFs

These funds hold shares and sell call options on them to earn extra income, which is paid out as distributions. The options also cap part of the upside, and part of a distribution can be a return of capital, so the yield alone says little about the return. 21 funds in this group, ordered by trading volume (lowest expense ratio among those that report one: GPIQ at 0.29%). Data as of 22 Oct 2026. Educational, not advice.
