Description: FTQI First Trust Nasdaq BuyWrite October 23, 2025
The First Trust Nasdaq BuyWrite Income ETF (FTQI) seeks to generate income by holding U.S. equity securities and selling short-term (≤ 1 year) call options on the Nasdaq-100, typically at-the-money to out-of-the-money strikes. This “buy-write” approach caps upside potential while collecting option premiums, aiming for a higher distribution yield than a pure equity fund.
Key metrics (as of the latest filing) include an expense ratio of 0.68 %, a 30-day SEC yield around 5.2 %, and assets under management of roughly $250 million. The fund’s performance is closely tied to Nasdaq-100 volatility and the broader tech sector, which accounts for over 80 % of its underlying holdings; rising interest rates can compress option premiums, while a bullish tech earnings cycle typically supports both equity appreciation and higher option income.
