RYLD at a glance

RYLD (Global X Russell 2000 Covered Call ETF) currently pays a 12.2% distribution yield, paid monthly. On a $10,000 investment that works out to about $1,220 a year, or roughly $102 a month before taxes. That yield ranks #144 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 $1.4B in assets.

Yield is only half the story. RYLD's total return since it launched on April 17, 2019 is +49% (about +5.5% 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.
