Income investors are shifting from traditional dividend stocks to NASDAQ-focused options-income ETFs that generate cash flow by selling call options rather than relying on dividends. The NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF (QQQI), Amplify CWP Growth & Income ETF (QDVO), and YieldMax Target 12 Big 50 Option Income ETF (BIGY) each pay monthly distributions and focus on large-cap tech stocks but differ in strategy and risk. QQQI offers a tax-efficient, index-based approach with steady income and moderate upside, QDVO uses active management for more growth potential but less predictable income, and BIGY employs synthetic replication for the highest yield but with added risks and costs. Investors should choose based on their preference for income stability versus capital appreciation.
