December distribution 05.12. The ETF for monthly equity income

0.1596$ $JEGP (+1.07%)

0.2312$ $JEPQ (-1.11%)


Just in time for St. Nicholas Day, there's another decent bonus/dividend - call it what you will 🤣


In any case, the December payout is higher than the last one.


Vola is your friend with these etfs


listened to an older podcast on this type of investment yesterday :-)

I don't see anyone really making money with these ETFs. Everyone is losing money.

@TechNav So I am just in the plus + approx. 8% dividend. Can't complain. As expected and does what it should.

@TechNav my parents are 4% in the plus and are living from the income. They were lucky with their buy ins off course, but not everybody is losing money with cc etfs. When the AI bubble pops a lot of people will lose a lot of money, but there will also be a lot of people that made a fortune on the way up. On the stock market you can't only talk in black or white, you have more gray area. Me myself, I have XYLF from Global X, as that one started sooner than the cc etfs of JP Morgan, otherwise I would have started with JEPG. I'm 3% in the plus with XYLF, which is not much, but I want the $ income to buy EMHD (invesco emergent market etf). So I can't complain. If I would have invested in some stocks I could have made more gains (or losses 😅), but for my wife and I XYLF does what it has to do. Provide us with USdollars and stay relatively stable

@TechNav Here is an overview of the performance of your two JP Morgan ETFs in the portfolio, each for the entire holding period (all values in EUR):

- Invested capital: € 42,701.68
- Dividends: € 2,444.52
- Realized gains: € 13.01
- Costs: € 54.40
- Taxes: € 470.57
- Total result (after costs/taxes): 1.197,23 €

2nd JPM Global Equity Premium ETF (ISIN: IE0003UVYC20)

These dividends are currently invested in $VUSA:

The return on the dividends received from the JP Morgan ETFs and reinvested in the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (ISIN: IE00B3XXRP09) is approximately +2.67% based on the net dividends reinvested.

Details of the calculation:
- All net dividends (after tax) from both JP Morgan ETFs were added up (total € 3,988.30).
- This sum was invested in the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF at the share price at the time.
- The increase in value of these reinvested dividends to date results in a return of +2.67%.
- The calculation does not take into account exact purchase dates or fees, but is based on available transaction data and current prices.

All figures in EUR, as at 08.11.2025.

Note: This calculation only shows the performance of the reinvested dividends, not the total return of the S&P 500 ETF.

I am therefore satisfied

I don't understand. It performs rather poorly. See also Ben Felix on covered call ETFs. Has 3 good videos on this.

@SchlaubiSchlumpf, no it isn't performing poorly, it is doing what it is supposed to do: Generate income. Ok, cc etfs drop as much as others, but they keep generating income as their number of underlying shares is not declining, so you can't actually say that there is NAV erosion. It is just normal market movement. Ben Felix makes great yt content, but just before the Trump Tariffs, Jepg was performing 2% better than VWRL in total return). To each their own, for me I'm happy to own cc etfs. Here in Europe we don't have the crappy High yielding Yieldmax and company etfs (and even there, with the NAV erosion, some people apply a strategy that still makes them money overall, but this requires more attention than I want to put into investing in etfs, I rrather put that time in investing towards stocks 😁)

@JorisInvests as far as I understand, if the call gets called you don’t loose money but shares. After buying new shares you have less shares so the underlying shares are declining. If market drops after this, you are left with less then someone who invest in normal ETFs. So you basically win at small declines until small upwards markets. Problem are hard zigzag moves. You get 90% of the downside but only a fraction of the upside.

@SchlaubiSchlumpf these ETFs are great for harvesting the volatility premium at late-stage bull markets, or as an investment you want to finance with debt after a strong crash, with the advantage being that the income they produce can be used to pay for the financing and then some. Other than that, it’s just best to hold a pure equity fund.

@alieb when there is a strong crash and you want to finance with loan, why take upwards protection? Some crashes (like Covid or Ukraine) had very steep recovery. With those you had a slightly softer fall, with a bad recovery after. There are some cases work better. It’s more or less the low volatility range. Or when no bigger gains are happening. But market often goes like -20% this year; +30% that year.

@SchlaubiSchlumpf just for cashflow purposes. You can take out a margin loan and invest, say, 70% in a MSCI World tracker and 30% in JQPI with a view of generating enough income to finance the interest payments.
This thing is brilliant! In a sideways or slightly downward phase, you will be able to see its full radiance in the future🫡 Does what it should and thank you for the link🤠
