Who this page is for
Best for
- Comparing JEPQ, QQQI, and QYLD as Nasdaq-100 income overlays
- Seeing weekly 0DTE cousins (QDTE, QQQY) next to monthly index funds
- Checking yield vs capped upside before pairing with SCHD
Not a fit for
- Treating Nasdaq income as a substitute for a total-market growth sleeve without reading the overlay
- Assuming QQQI’s tax-aware design makes the payout qualified or guaranteed
- Picking the highest yield on this table as the “winner”
Risks specific to this yield range
- Call overlays cap upside in strong Nasdaq years — the missed rally is the real cost.
- Weekly 0DTE tickers on this list are a different book than JEPQ or QYLD.
- Distribution rate and SEC yield will not match; do not mix them in a model.
- Concentration in mega-cap tech remains even after the options overlay.
Analysis
JEPQ is active Nasdaq premium income, QQQI is a NEOS-style high-income overlay, and QYLD is a systematic Nasdaq-100 buy-write. Those three names are the search cluster. GPIQ, FTQI, and QYLG sit next to them.
QYLD often prints the highest trailing yield because it writes more aggressively. That is not “better income.” Compare total return and how much of a Nasdaq rally you give up.
If you want S&P instead of Nasdaq, use the S&P 500 income list (JEPI, SPYI, XYLD). Run JEPI vs JEPQ in Compare Dividend Returns when the question is which overlay, not which ticker is popular.
