CSHIANeos Enhanced Income Cash Alternative ETF

XSPICNEOS Boosted S&P 500 High Income ETF

In short

CSHI A T-bill sleeve with a side hustle. CSHI parks in 1-3 month Treasuries and sells S&P 500 index puts on top, paying monthly. In a peer group built on stocks plus options, it is the cash-first one.

XSPI The leveraged cousin in the NEOS income lineup: S&P 500 stocks plus a laddered call overlay, boosted with synthetic long exposure to roughly 150% notional, in pursuit of a 15% annualized distribution paid monthly.

Stated mandate

CSHI The Fund seeks monthly income by investing in 1-3 month Treasury bills or related ETFs and using S&P 500 Index put options to generate additional income.

XSPI The Fund seeks high monthly income in a tax-efficient manner, with potential for enhanced equity appreciation in rising markets.

Why people hold it

  • CSHI Charges 0.38% a year, below the 0.60% median for its options-income cohort and cheaper than buy-write mainstays like XYLD (0.60%).
  • Two income engines: interest from 1-3 month Treasury bills, plus premium collected from selling S&P 500 index put options. Distributions land monthly.neosfunds.com
  • Running since 2022, now a multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, and one of the strongest implementations in its peer group.
  • XSPI The boost is mechanical: buy index calls and sell index puts at similar strikes to reach about 150% notional exposure, then write additional SPX calls on top. More premium collected, more equity exposure working.neosfunds.comsec.gov
  • Calls are laddered out of the money and not written across the whole portfolio, so part of a rally stays open rather than being capped away.neosfunds.com
  • Built on the same S&P 500 options framework as NEOS's flagship SPYI, using index options and distributions the issuer has classified as return of capital, which defers tax and trims cost basis instead of hitting as ordinary income.neosfunds.com
  • Income is designed to arrive monthly rather than quarterly, from an actively managed overlay on the 500 largest US listed companies.

Worth knowing

  • CSHI Selling index puts imports equity risk. A sharp S&P 500 drop can cost the options side money, so this moves less predictably than a plain Treasury bill fund.neosfunds.com
  • Income is variable by design, riding short-term Treasury rates and option premium levels rather than a fixed coupon.
  • Its cohort is mostly S&P 500 stock-plus-options funds, while CSHI's core is Treasuries. Side-by-side yield comparisons are not apples to apples.
  • XSPI Fees run high: 0.98% versus a roughly 0.6% median for S&P 500 options-income funds, and above the unleveraged sibling SPYI at 0.68%. The boost and the overlay cost real money.
  • Leverage cuts both ways. Roughly 150% notional exposure magnifies drawdowns as well as gains, and the call overlay can mute part of the bounce back.neosfunds.comsec.gov
  • Launched in February 2026, so the track record is thin, and a payout funded partly by return of capital reduces both net asset value and your cost basis over time.neosfunds.com
