Our read on TQQY
FMost Nasdaq-100 income funds sell calls on the index. TQQY pushes a step further out: it writes put options on 3x leveraged Nasdaq-100 ETFs to harvest fatter premiums, with upside capped and the leveraged fund's swings still flowing through.
The fund seeks income primarily by selling put options on leveraged ETFs tracking the 3x Long QQQ Daily ETF, while also seeking capped exposure to that leveraged ETF's performance.
Why people hold it
- Rather than selling calls on the index, it writes puts on 3x leveraged Nasdaq-100 ETFs, targeting three times the option income a plain Nasdaq-100 option seller collects.graniteshares.com
- Premium collection is the whole job. Option income is designed to go out the door to shareholders on a recurring schedule rather than being reinvested.graniteshares.com
- It is an ordinary 1940 Act ETF ticker, so you get a put-writing program without an options-approved margin account or rolling contracts yourself.graniteshares.com
Worth knowing
- The 7.25% expense ratio sits far above the rest of the Nasdaq-100 options-income group, where funds like JEPQ, GPIQ and QYLG charge well under 1%.
- Writing puts on a 3x fund cuts both ways: gains stop at the premium and strike level, while sharp drops in the leveraged ETF come through amplified.graniteshares.com
- A 2025 launch that remains small and lightly traded, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads than the category's household names.
