Our read on XLKI

ETF.net Research

In short

BThe tech sleeve of State Street's sector income suite: it owns the Technology Select Sector SPDR and sells calls on that same fund, converting option premium into a monthly distribution. Income now, some upside handed away.

Stated mandate

The actively managed fund seeks current income while preserving prospects for long-term capital growth. It invests in the Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF and sells call options on that ETF to generate additional income.

Why people hold it

  • One options book, not fifty. It holds the Technology Select Sector SPDR and writes calls on that single ETF rather than on dozens of individual tech names.ssga.com
  • Fee sits at 0.35%, level with the median for sector covered-call funds, and the fund distributes monthly.sec.gov
  • The overlay is actively managed, so a manager sets strikes and timing instead of following a fixed formula.ssga.com
  • Rates in the upper half of the sector premium-income funds we cover, a group that includes State Street's health care (XLVI) and utilities (XLUI) versions.

Worth knowing

  • Selling calls trades away part of a tech rally: the premium comes in up front, the gains above the strike do not.sec.gov
  • 0.35% versus 0.08% for the plain Technology Select Sector SPDR (XLK). The gap buys the income overlay, not extra tech exposure.investing.comaaii.com
  • Launched in 2025, and the underlying sleeve is market-cap weighted S&P 500 tech, so a few megacaps drive both the price and the premiums.aaii.comssga.com
