Description: QYLD NASDAQ 100 Covered Call

The Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF (QYLD) invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities of the CBOE NASDAQ-100 BuyWrite Index, a benchmark that tracks a hypothetical portfolio holding NASDAQ-100 stocks combined with a rolling series of one-month at-the-money covered call options written on the index. As an ETF launched in December 2013 and classified within the Derivative Income category, QYLD generates returns through a combination of equity holdings in large-cap U.S. technology and growth companies and premium income from its options overlay strategy. The fund is structured as non-diversified, meaning its assets are concentrated within the underlying NASDAQ-100 components.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Nasdaq-100 tech rally lifts underlying NAV holdings
  • Covered call premiums fluctuate with index implied volatility
  • Rising rates shift investor demand toward income ETF products
