Three popular S&P 500 covered-call ETFs—XYLD, GPIX, and ISPY—use different strategies to generate income from the same index, resulting in very different returns. XYLD writes full at-the-money calls monthly, offering the highest yield but capping upside and trailing in total returns. GPIX uses a partial, actively managed overlay to balance income with equity participation, delivering the best total return in 2026. ISPY sells daily expiring calls, preserving upside better but with lower and more variable income. Investors should choose based on whether they prioritize steady income, equity growth, or a blend of both.
