QYLD Vs. JEPQ: 2 Reasons To Go With JEPQ

  • I now prefer JEPQ over QYLD due to JEPQ's lower fees and its partial, rather than full, use of option overlays. With VIX volatility subdued, QYLD's 100% option overlay caps upside and reduces income potential, making it less attractive in current conditions. JEPQ has outperformed QYLD in total return (64% vs. 36%) over the past 3 years, and I expect this outperformance to continue.
