Neos S&P 500 High Income ETF

SPYI aims for tax-efficient and high monthly income by actively investing in stocks and options on the S&P 500 Index. The fund employs a call spread approach that uses SPX index option futures contracts.

The Neos S&P 500 High Income ETF (SPYI) offers double-digit yields and some upside participation, making it attractive for income investors amid rate cuts. SPYI's strategy involves writing covered calls and purchasing out-of-the-money calls, capping upside but generating significant income. Despite underperforming the S&P 500 in appreciation, SPYI has consistently provided high yields, outperforming risk-free assets like money markets.

Market volatility continues as investors anxiously await the Friday jobs report after a week of economic data indicating continued economic slowing. While the data proves favorable for rate cuts, economic weakening could spell trouble in the long term.

Get Paid to Wait Out Market Volatility With Options Strategies

Exploring the nuances of the Neos S&P 500 High Income ETF (SPYI), I've concluded there's little appeal to holding this ETF. SPYI's exposures may suit some investor portfolios, but the strategy limits the amount of income potential, amongst other detractors. Investors comfortable with at-the-money call writing as opposed to out-of-the-money calls should be able to easily replicate SPYI's exposures while avoiding fees.

SPYI Offers No Compelling Benefit Over Other Covered Call ETFs

Markets remain volatile in an ever-changing macro narrative of U.S. rate cuts, evolving geopolitical tensions, and concerns of consumer and economic resilience. Options income strategies such as the NEOS S&P 500 High Income ETF (SPYI) may benefit from volatility while providing core equity exposure.
