Our read on TDAQ
BMost Nasdaq-100 income funds sell calls a month at a time. TDAQ holds QQQ and writes out-of-the-money calls each morning that expire the same day, harvesting same-day premium and resetting its upside cap daily. Income lands monthly.
The actively managed ETF seeks current income and capital appreciation through a long QQQ position combined with short call options. It sells out-of-the-money calls each day, generally with zero days to expiration.
Why people hold it
- An actively managed long QQQ position with out-of-the-money calls written each trading day, generally expiring that day. The upside cap resets each morning, not once a month.tappalphafunds.com
- Because the calls sit out of the money, the fund keeps room to follow QQQ higher up to the strike before the overlay starts trading away gains.tappalphafunds.com
- Options premium is harvested daily and paid out monthly, the cadence the fund has run since its 2025 launch.tappalphafunds.com
Worth knowing
- Fees run 0.83% a year, above the 0.74% median for Nasdaq-100 options-income funds and well above scaled rivals like JEPQ and GPIQ at 0.35%.
- Same-day options are sensitive to sudden moves and can trade at wider spreads, so morning-by-morning execution matters more here than in a monthly-call fund.finance.yahoo.com
- It launched in September 2025, so the live record is short, and it reaches the Nasdaq-100 by holding QQQ rather than the 100 stocks directly.
