QQQI ETF charges nearly double fees of JEPQ with lower total returns despite higher yield.

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%. QQQI's covered-call strategy caps upside gains and sometimes returns investors' own capital, which can affect tax treatment. JEPQ, with a longer track record and lower fees, provides a more cost-efficient way to access similar income strategies, though its payouts are less consistent month to month. Investors should weigh yield against total return and fees when choosing between these funds.
