Yields across credit products remain near historic lows, creating a difficult environment for income investors. Covered call fund yields have resisted the march lower in credit yields by monetizing equity upside and volatility which remains at elevated levels.

Imagine a stock or fund that paid out its dividends once a month! Instead of quarterly, semi-annually or (ugh) annually, your anticipatory angst waiting for money is reduced by 300%, or more! These December U.S. exchange-traded monthly-paid (MoPay) dividends, upsides, and net-gains include: 1. Stocks by-yield (102); 2. Stocks by price-upside (30); 3. Closed-End-Investments, Exchange-Traded-Funds & Notes (CEICs/ETFs/ETNs) by-yield >6.99% (80).

RYLD is an ETF with high monthly income stemming from a Russell 2000 covered call strategy. The fund offers an attractive current yield of over 12%, but the fund's simplistic strategy leads to some inefficiencies.

RYLD: A High Yield ETF With A Price

RYLD writes at-the-money covered call options on small-cap stocks in the Russell 2000, generating high premiums on this traditionally volatile Index. With a trailing distribution yield of 11.30%, I view RYLD solely as an income play, and I will demonstrate that it won't offer downside protection when you need it most.

RYLD: 11% Yield, But It's Not Free

The Global X Russell 2000 Covered Call ETF writes Call options using 1-month At-The-Money strikes along equity exposure to the Russell 2000 Index via another ETF. While RYLD started in 2019, reviewing the Cboe Russell 2000 BuyWrite Index provides a longer period to evaluate. As expected, writing ATM calls can cause performance to suffer at times.

Investors are looking toward increasingly complex products to generate high dividend returns in a low-interest-rate environment. Covered call ETFs such as RYLD have benefited from this trend, but many investors may not fully appreciate the fund's risk profile.
