Fidelity's dividend ETF outperformed QYLD over 10 years despite QYLD's high monthly payouts.

Over the past decade, a $100,000 investment in Fidelity's High Dividend ETF (FDVV) grew to $348,660, outperforming the Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF (QYLD), which grew to $260,850. While QYLD offers large monthly distributions by selling call options on the Nasdaq-100, it sacrifices upside gains, leading to lower long-term growth compared to FDVV's direct dividend stock holdings. Recent performance favors QYLD, but the decade-long compounding advantage remains with FDVV, making it better suited for investors focused on growth rather than immediate income.

QYLD currently has a market cap of $8.49 billion and a daily trading volume of 2,913,938 shares on Pluang as of Oct 10, 2026 08:21 WIB. The ETF's price is USD 18.69 with a modest 1-day gain of 0.16%. Typical holding time on Pluang is 51 days, reflecting balanced investor interest with equal buy and sell activity. This context highlights QYLD's active trading environment despite its slower long-term growth compared to Fidelity's High Dividend ETF.
