Total return with all distributions reinvested on the ex-dividend date (a modeling convention, not the cash-settlement date), split-adjusted, as of September 18, 2026. YTD and 1Y are cumulative; windows of one year or longer are annualized. β€œSince Oct 2023” measures every fund from October 26, 2023 β€” the start of shared available history β€” so all funds share one comparison window. Volatility is the annualized standard deviation of daily total returns over the past year. Sharpe and Sortino divide the annualized return in excess of the risk-free rate by, respectively, that volatility and the downside deviation (both over the past year) β€” higher is better. Max drawdown is the largest peak-to-trough total-return decline over the same window β€” shallower is better.

Bottom lineChoose DIVO if you want selected dividend stocks with tactical calls and accept manager risk. Choose GPIX if you want S&P 500 exposure with a dynamic overwrite and accept the upside tradeoff. Distributions can change and may include return of capital. A payout rate is not total return, and tax character alone does not establish economic loss.

Selected stock calls versus a dynamic index overwrite

DIVO selects dividend-paying equities and writes tactical calls on individual stocks. GPIX combines S&P 500 equity exposure with a dynamic call overwrite. Compare the stock portfolio and the amount overwritten together.

How the risk works

Read this before the income numbers below: the strategy mechanics on this page shape what those payouts can cost you.

  • Capped upside and premium dependence. GPIX generates income by selling options, which trades away part of a strong rally in exchange for premium. Distributions can include return of capital, and a payout the underlying assets cannot sustain shows up as NAV erosion over time β€” the big yield number is not free.

Frequently asked questions

Does a higher distribution prove GPIX writes tighter calls than DIVO?
