The NEOS Nasdaq-100 Hedged Equity Income ETF (QQQH) is rated a sell due to its significant underperformance compared to the Nasdaq-100 and its passive collar benchmark, with a 9.91% return versus 20.41% over five years. Although it provides monthly income and some downside protection, the hedge has been minimal, saving less than 2% in the worst quarter since 2008 while limiting upside gains. Its tax efficiency and downside hedge may appeal to high-income investors, but higher fees, low liquidity, and better alternatives like JEPQ reduce its attractiveness.
