Bonds have traditionally diversified portfolios well due to falling interest rates, but rising rates in 2022 weakened this benefit as stocks and bonds fell together. For retirees seeking stable income, covered-call strategies like the actively managed Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (DIVO) present a compelling alternative. DIVO invests in 20-25 high-quality large-cap stocks with strong dividend and earnings growth, applying selective covered calls to preserve upside potential while providing a 4.75% yield. With a solid risk-adjusted performance and a Morningstar five-star rating, DIVO may partially replace bonds in retirement portfolios to deliver regular cash flow and reduce behavioral selling risks.
