XYLD at a glance

XYLD (Global X S&P 500 Covered Call ETF) currently pays a 11.0% distribution yield, paid monthly. On a $10,000 investment that works out to about $1,100 a year, or roughly $91.67 a month before taxes. That yield ranks #152 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 $3.4B in assets.

Yield is only half the story. XYLD's total return since it launched on June 24, 2013 is +104% (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.
