Summary
- NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF yields 13.42% vs. 9.65% for Goldman Sachs ETF
- Roundhill S&P 500 ETF targets 20% annualized distribution using options
- TappAlpha SPY ETF outperforms JEPI and QYLD with daily 0DTE call options
As of November 13, 2025, investors seeking high-yielding ETFs have several compelling options to consider. The NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF (QQQI) currently yields an impressive 13.42%, significantly outpacing the 9.65% yield of the Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF (GPIQ).
Another standout is the Roundhill S&P 500 Target 20 Managed Distribution ETF (XPAY), which actively manages its portfolio to target a 20% annualized distribution rate. It achieves this by investing in FLEX Options that reference the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), allowing it to generate the necessary cash flow for its high monthly payouts.
Additionally, the TappAlpha SPY Growth & Daily Income ETF (TSPY) has been outperforming established options-based income funds like JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI) and Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF (QYLD). TSPY accomplishes this by writing daily 0DTE (zero-day-to-expiration) call options on the S&P 500, providing a steady stream of income.
While the traditional options-based income ETFs are not inherently "wrong," investors may find better value in the higher-yielding alternatives that follow similar strategies. As the market continues to evolve, these innovative ETFs are providing retirees and income-seeking investors with new opportunities to maximize their returns.
