S&P 500 premium-income ETFs to consider alongside Goldman Sachs GPIX.
Data updated August 2026 · 9 ETFs
Who this page is for
Best for
- GPIX holders comparing similar funds, fees, payouts, and strategy design
- Large-cap investors balancing monthly income against S&P 500 upside participation
- Investors who will compare total return and NAV trend alongside distribution rate
Not a fit for
- Investors who want uncapped S&P 500 returns from a plain index fund
- Anyone treating a current distribution rate as guaranteed future income
- Investors choosing from headline yield alone without reviewing the underlying exposure
Analysis
GPIX combines an S&P 500-like equity portfolio with an actively managed options overlay. JEPI uses a lower-volatility stock portfolio and equity-linked notes, SPYI uses index options with a tax-aware design, and XYLD follows a systematic buy-write index. DIVO writes calls selectively on a concentrated dividend portfolio, while ISPY, TSPY, and XDTE use short-dated options. The funds share large-cap exposure but can sell very different amounts of upside. Distribution rate, option coverage, tax character, NAV trend, and full-cycle total return belong in the same comparison.

How these alternatives are selected
- Universe: a hand-curated peer set, split into close peers (8 here — same core exposure and same income mechanism, so a like-for-like swap) and broader substitutes (a different index, underlying asset, or income mechanism). Every fund is labelled in the Strategy fit column; GPIX itself is excluded.
- Eligibility: active ETFs only — liquidated, delisted, and renamed funds drop out automatically. Leveraged and inverse products are never listed: a daily-reset 2x or -1x fund is not an alternative to a long income position.
- Ranking: assets under management, a size-and-liquidity proxy. Never ranked by yield — yields are shown as data, not used to order the list.
- Fit: how each fund's strategy differs from GPIX — and who each one suits — is covered in the strategy notes and FAQ below.

Yield distribution
Expense ratio distribution
Income projection
Estimated income if the current average distribution rate of 12.43% 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.
