The Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF (GPIQ) is having a good year, with inflows rising and its stock jumping to a record high. It peaked at $52.80 on Friday, up sharply from the all-time low of $31.54. This article explores whether the 10% yielding GPIQ ETF is a good buy.<\/p>\n

What is the GPIQ ETF and how does it work?<\/h2>\n

GPIQ ETF is Goldman Sachs\u2019<\/a> answer to the JPMorgan Nasdaq 100 Premium Equity ETF (JEPQ), the $30 billion fund. It is a fund that aims to provide investors an exposure to the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index and then generate yield. <\/p>\n

The fund generates a return by embracing a dynamic options \u2018overwrite\u2019 strategy, where it sells call options on a varying percentage of the market performance. <\/p>\n

A call option is a transaction that gives investors the right to buy an asset at a certain price before it hits the strike price. A call transaction comes with a premium, which the company uses to pay its shareholders. The premium rises when the market is highly volatile. <\/p>\n

Using the covered call approach has an advantage in that shareholders receive a monthly return in all market conditions. When the Nasdaq 100 Index is flat, its return will be positive as the fund will still make money from the options premium. <\/p>\n

Similarly, the ETF also generates an income when the Nasdaq 100 Index is in a downtrend. However, a major risk happens when the Nasdaq 100 Index rises and crosses the strike price. <\/p>\n

GPIQ vs JEPI vs QQQM ETFs performance<\/h2>\n

The GPIQ ETF has an expense ratio of 0.29%, which is better than JEPQ\u2019s 0.35%, making it more ideal to investors. The two funds also have a similar dividend yield of about 10%. <\/p>\n

The best way to identify the better ETF to buy is to consider its total return. Data compiled by Seeking Alpha shows that the JEPQ ETF has returned 16% in the last 12 months. In contrast, the GPIQ fund has returned about 20% in the same period.<\/p>\n

The same thing is happening this year as the GPIQ ETF has had a total return of 16% compared to JEPQ\u2019s 10%. <\/p>\n

Still, history shows that investing in a generic fund like Invesco QQQ is a better approach than covered call funds like GPIQ and JEPQ. For example, QQQ ETF has had a total return of 18.20% this year, higher than GPIQ and JEPQ\u2019s 16% and 10%. <\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

QQQ has returned 22% this year, compared to GPIQ and JEPQ\u2019s 20% and 16% and 20%, respectively. As such, while the GPIQ ETF is a better fund than JEPQ. History shows that the pure QQQ ETF is a better fund to own.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
