Three monthly-pay income ETFs—NEOS S&P 500 High Income ETF (SPYI), Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF (GPIQ), and Virtus InfraCap U.S. Preferred Stock ETF (PFFA)—offer enough cash flow at current yields to cover the median U.S. mortgage payment of about $2,100. SPYI uses an options premium strategy on the S&P 500, requiring about $218,000 to cover the mortgage. GPIQ applies a similar call option overlay on Nasdaq-100 stocks, needing roughly $251,000. PFFA invests in leveraged preferred stocks, requiring about $258,000. Each fund has different risk and income profiles, with SPYI offering the smoothest income, GPIQ higher growth potential with more volatility, and PFFA providing leveraged preferred stock income with credit and rate sensitivity. While none fully replaces a paycheck at modest portfolio sizes, they can help offset mortgage payments and reduce cash flow strain for investors with smaller balances.
