This board tracks 20 high yield ETFs generating annual income typically between 7% and 60%+. It covers four main strategies: covered call ETFs (JEPI, JEPQ, GPIQ, SPYI, QQQI, QYLD, XYLD), option income ETFs (FEPI, YieldMax series), preferred, MLP & BDC ETFs (PFFA, MLPI, MLPA, BIZD, SVOL) and global high yield (SDIV, SRET).

Higher yield funds typically carry more complexity and risk. Safety scores reflect fund size, volatility, cost, yield stability and return history — many newer option-income ETFs will score lower due to limited track records.

Covered Call ETFs: Hold stocks or index exposure and sell call options to generate monthly income. Caps upside in bull markets. JEPI, SPYI, QQQI use this approach.

Option Income (YieldMax): Synthetic covered calls on single stocks (TSLY = Tesla, NVDY = Nvidia). Very high yields but NAV erosion risk over time.

Preferred Stock: PFFA holds preferred shares of US companies, which pay fixed dividends with priority over common stock.

MLP / BDC: MLPI and BIZD provide exposure to energy pipelines and business development companies — historically high-yield asset classes.
