The Horizons Gold Yield ETF (HGY-T) has garnered mixed reviews among investors, particularly those looking for income in the form of distributions. One retired investor highlights that while the ETF offers an attractive yield of approximately 10.25%, it inherently faces a significant challenge as gold does not traditionally provide direct distributions. The investor appreciates the covered call strategy employed to generate income but expresses concern over instances where the payout might be too high, essentially returning investor capital instead of generating real return. Overall, while the high yield is enticing, some experts believe it might not translate into a superior total return, leading to cautious outlooks about increasing positions in this ETF. Additionally, it's advised to hold off on further investments for those already heavily invested in this particular fund.
Nothing wrong with this, but he tends not to write calls on something that's high volatility (like commodities or the Mag 7). Writing calls on something that's volatile severely limits your upside potential, but doesn't protect you that much on the downside. You're not getting much income relative to the risk. Real options traders like this, however, because the premiums on the options are so rich.
What he wants in his covered call strategy are dividend payers, and a more conservative approach.

One major problem with gold is that it doesn't pay a distribution. Writing covered calls creates that distribution for you. Sometimes the distribution can be too high relative to the options strategy; so they replace that by giving you your own $$ back. He doesn't love that idea. The yield pulls you in, but there's not much advantage on total return.
At 10%, investor is in a good position. But don't add any more.
