QYLD at a glance
QYLD (Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF) currently pays a 12.4% distribution yield, paid monthly. On a $10,000 investment that works out to about $1,240 a year, or roughly $103 a month before taxes. That yield ranks #141 of the 218 income ETFs we track.
It charges an expense ratio of 0.60%, which is cheaper than most the ETFs we track (about $60 a year per $10,000 invested) and it manages $8.3B in assets.
Yield is only half the story. QYLD's total return since it launched on December 12, 2013 is +199% (about +8.9% per year), and our data flags price decay, meaning the share price is below where it started. Part of the income has been offset by a shrinking share price, so look at the total return, not just the payout.
