"Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF (QYLD) holds the same stocks as the Nasdaq 100 and sells covered call options against those holdings every month, generating income from premiums paid by buyers."
"The fund's benchmark is the Cboe Nasdaq-100 BuyWrite V2 Index, which tracks this systematic covered call strategy, making QYLD one of the most established income ETFs in the covered call space."
"Monthly distributions have been consistent, with QYLD paying between $0.16 and $0.19 per share each month throughout 2025, appealing to investors who need predictable cash flow."
"The income has a ceiling problem, as distributions have declined from their 2021 peak, and the premiums QYLD collects shrink when market volatility falls."
