With a yield of 9.47%, the upward-trending ETF generates income by selling options and by investing in U.S. large-cap growth stocks. All of which allows it to deliver a monthly income stream through options premiums and stock dividends. In fact, it just paid a dividend of just over 44 cents per share on September 4. Before that, it paid out a dividend of just over 44 cents on August 5. Even better, investors have also benefited from the ETF's appreciation.
The JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium ETF ( NASDAQ:JEPQ) is a case study in higher yields not always being better for investors. On the surface, JEPQ's 9.96% SEC yield looks like a compelling opportunity for investors. If you invest $100,000 into the fund, you will receive $9,960 in annual cash flow. Most dividend stocks and funds can't keep up with that type of yield.
