Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Core Premium Income ETF (GPIQ) fell 6.1% in July while Apple, its largest holding, surged 15.23%. This underperformance is due to GPIQ's covered-call strategy, which caps gains by selling call options to generate monthly income. While GPIQ offers higher income, it limits upside during strong rallies like Apple's recent surge. Investors seeking growth may prefer the cheaper, uncapped Invesco QQQ Trust, which has matched GPIQ's returns without sacrificing gains from top tech stocks. GPIQ suits those needing current income but may underperform in strong bull markets driven by mega-cap stocks.
