The NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF (QQQI) charges a 0.68% expense ratio, almost twice that of JPMorgan's Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPQ) at 0.35%. While QQQI offers a higher headline yield of about 14%, its total return over the past year was 17.64%, lower than JEPQ's 20.87%.

Investors should weigh yield against total return and fees when choosing between these funds.
