The Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF (QYLD) is designed to provide income through covered call writing, making it an appealing option for investors seeking yield rather than growth. While it offers a unique strategy tied to the popular QQQ ETF, experts caution that it may experience increased volatility and price fluctuations. Those who are bullish on technology may find the traditional QQQ more advantageous for capital appreciation. In contrast, QYLD's covered call approach prioritizes income generation, which could lead to more stable returns but at a cost to growth potential. Ultimately, investors should align their choice with their investment goals and risk tolerance.

RISKY

It's the QQQ with a covered call. If you're bullish tech, just own the Qs. It you want yield, QYLD is good, but don't expect growth. Can be volatile and choppy.

HOLD

High yield good for dividend oriented investors. Good exposure to Nasdaq 100. Good for exposure to technology in a defensive way. 

COMMENT

It is OK for income strategies. It has returned 26 1/2% over the past year but owning the actual Nasdaq 100 would have returned 43%. It is better to buy the actual stocks if you don't need the income.

DON'T BUY

Warning flags. US-based product. Never trust yield. Covered calls on this product don't get the favourable capital gains treatment. It might be OK in an RRSP, RRIF, or RESP, but not in a TFSA. You're not hitting the sweet spot of favourable tax treatment.

Doesn't like writing covered calls on stuff that's very volatile, such as NASDAQ, gold, or oils.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Limits upside potential with covered call protection
Good defensive name.
Lower volatility. 

DON'T BUY
Enhanced dividend yield of 12%. Total return over the last 3 years was 5.68% vs. 59% for the NASDAQ 100. YTD, down 17%, vs. the NASDAQ down 24%, so you can see how the covered call strategy works in a falling market. But long term, stocks tend to move higher, not lower. Paying a higher management fee for covered calls, about 60 bps for this one. You can buy a NASDAQ 100 index much cheaper.
WAIT
As interest rates go up, the Nasdaq underperforms. Would wait for the 200 day average to be tested. The technical support is close to 300. Could be 3 to 15% downside for a correction.
PARTIAL BUY
If you are aggressive, then you do not want this since it gives up upside. However, for a defensive play, you should have this in your portfolio. The enhanced yield will give you a slightly bigger return if there is a sell off. However, it does not protect you from dowside.
COMMENT
11-12% yield. Only problem with the covered call is that when the index (here, the NASDAQ) is doing well, you're better off owning the underlying securities. YTD, QYLD is up 6.3%, whereas the NASDAQ is up 18%. Good strategy if you think the underlying index will be negative or flat.
COMMENT
A covered call version of the NASDAQ 100. If you want a yield from technology, it is a way to do this. Normally, you don't want to give away growth to yield. A consideration to think about.
