Three covered call ETFs—JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income (JEPQ), ProShares S&P 500 High Income (ISPY), and Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call (QYLD)—provide monthly income but differ in how they balance premium income and equity growth. JEPQ offers a balanced approach with strong growth and income by selecting lower-volatility Nasdaq stocks and using equity-linked notes. ISPY uses daily call options to preserve more upside from the S&P 500 while providing moderate income. QYLD maximizes monthly income by writing at-the-money calls on the Nasdaq-100 but caps upside, making it suitable for investors prioritizing cash flow over price appreciation. Heading into 2027, investors should choose based on their preference for income versus growth and how much market upside they want to retain.
Among the covered call ETFs mentioned, JEPQ trades at USD 60.98 with a 1-day gain of 1.23%, while QYLD is priced at USD 18.51, down 0.22% on Pluang. JEPQ shows higher market cap and more active trading compared to QYLD. These figures are as of Sep 22, 2026 04:51 WIB.
