The NEOS Boosted Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF (XQQI) has nearly matched the upside performance of the Nasdaq-100 tracker QQQ since its launch, while providing a significantly higher income distribution. Its boosted synthetic exposure combined with partial call overwriting strategies have allowed it to capture strong market gains, outperforming similar income ETFs like JEPQ, GPIQ, and QYLD. Despite its recent sharp price increase, the analyst rates XQQI as a Hold, recommending investors wait for a price pullback to around $48–$49 before adding to positions. The expected total return over the next 6 to 12 months is 5–10%, with income likely balancing out some price declines rather than further price appreciation.
The Nasdaq income ETFs JEPQ and QYLD show steady trading on Pluang as of Sep 23, 2026 17:51 WIB. JEPQ trades at USD 61.23 with a 0.10% gain, near its 52-week high of USD 61.46. QYLD is priced at USD 18.59, up 0.22%, with all Pluang orders currently buying. This steady activity contrasts with XQQI's recent sharp price rise noted in the article.
