Data updated August 2026 · 9 ETFs
Who this page is for
Best for
- GPIQ holders comparing similar funds, fees, payouts, and strategy design
- Nasdaq investors balancing current income against participation in technology gains
- Investors who will compare total return and NAV trend alongside distribution rate
Not a fit for
- Growth investors who want uncapped Nasdaq-100 upside
- Anyone treating a current distribution rate as guaranteed future income
- Investors choosing from headline yield alone without reviewing the underlying exposure
Analysis
GPIQ uses an active premium-income overlay on large Nasdaq companies at a relatively low stated fee. JEPQ is the largest established peer and uses equity-linked notes, while QQQI writes index options with a tax-aware design. QYLD follows a systematic full overwrite, and QDTE sells very short-dated options for weekly cash flow. All retain similar megacap technology risk; owning several diversifies the income engine rather than the underlying equities. The useful comparison is how much upside each strategy sells, what it costs, and whether its total return supports its payout.

Yield distribution
Expense ratio distribution
Income projection
Estimated income if the current average distribution rate of 14.15% held for a full year with share prices unchanged. Distribution rate is not total return—a fund can pay a large distribution while its share price falls—so treat these as an upper-bound illustration, not a forecast.
