"If you've got sidelined capital ready to put to work, you might want to consider the high-yielding JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPQ), operating on all cylinders. With a high yield of 10.1% that far exceeds the broader market on top of $32.6 billion in total assets under management, JEPQ has delivered a double-digit percentage return over the past six months alone of approximately 11%."
"The fund has posted a more impressive 14% year-to-date return on a NAV basis, neck-and-neck with the S&P 500, showing it can participate in upside while throwing off meaningful monthly cash flow. Its compelling yield surpasses that of other asset classes, including the 10-year bond, global REITs and broad stock market. Most recently, JEPQ paid a $0.55323 per share monthly distribution (as of December 2025), giving income investors cushion in a market that is prone to swing on each new inflation or rate headline."
JEPQ yields 10.1% and holds $32.6 billion in assets. The fund returned about 11% over six months and 14% year-to-date on a NAV basis, roughly matching the S&P 500. JEPQ combines equity holdings with a sophisticated options strategy to amplify dividend income and pays monthly distributions.
