What This Transaction Means for Investors

Wick Capital, a Pennsylvania-based investment advisor, recently sold about 58,000 shares of Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF (GPIQ). Here’s what investors need to know.

First off, GPIQ is a Nasdaq-tracking exchange-traded fund (ETF). It seeks to deliver significant income to investors through a special mechanism — the covered call strategy. In brief, the fund owns a basket of Nasdaq-100 stocks. It then sells many call options against its holdings. These sales result in a steady stream of premium payment inflows — which the fund then passes on to investors in the form in fat dividend payments. That’s how the fund managers manage to generate a dividend yield of 10.1% from a basket of stocks that currently yields only about 0.7%.

Of course, there is a trade-off to this strategy. In order to generate that big yield, the fund managers sold call options against their stock holdings. Those call options lose value the more the underlying stocks increase in value. In a worst case scenario, those losses accelerate if the value of the underlying stocks soar over a short period of time. In other words, investors in this ETF surrender their upside in exchange for steady dividend income. An investor in this fund is hoping for a slow, measured rise in the price of the Nasdaq-100, which allows the value of the call options to decay away slowly, meaning the fund profits from the sale without giving up too much upside.

In short, it’s worthwhile for income-seeking investors to consider GPIQ. Despite the big trade-off inherent to it, the fund does deliver significant income flows for investors who need to generate cash from their investments. Moreover, the fund’s expense ratio is competitive at 0.29%.
