DIVO vs SPIN

DIVOAAmplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF

SPINAState Street US Equity Premium Income ETF

In short

DIVO A hand-picked book of roughly 30 blue-chip dividend payers, with covered calls written tactically on individual names instead of blanketed over an index. Two income engines, paid monthly, running since 2016.

SPIN State Street's take on the covered-call boom: an actively picked book of large- and mid-cap US stocks with index calls written over the top, priced at 0.25% a year, a fraction of the typical options-income fee.

Stated mandate

DIVO Seeks a high level of risk-adjusted total return through current income and capital appreciation. It primarily uses U.S. dividend-paying equities and tactically writes covered calls on portfolio holdings for additional income.

SPIN SPIN seeks current income while retaining potential for long-term growth. It actively invests in large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks selected for fundamentals, valuation, and growth prospects, while dynamically selling calls on a U.S. large-cap exposure such as the S&P 500 to add monthly income.

Why people hold it

• DIVO Fee of 0.56% a year sits well below the typical options-income fund, and the same tactical covered-call playbook has been running since 2016.
• Calls are written selectively on chosen holdings rather than automatically across the whole portfolio, so names left uncovered keep their room to run.amplifyetfs.com
• Income arrives monthly, sourced from stock dividends plus option premium rather than premium alone.
• Actively traded and multi-billion in size, which tends to keep the spread you pay on the way in and out modest.

• SPIN 0.25% a year, a fraction of the typical options-income fee, and it undercuts close peers like PAPI (0.29%), ROCY and JOYT (0.35%) and DIVO (0.56%).
• Calls are sold against a US large-cap exposure such as the S&P 500 rather than name by name, so the stock sleeve's individual winners aren't each capped.ssga.com
• Underneath the overlay sits a real stock book: roughly 90 large- and mid-cap US names chosen on fundamentals, valuation and growth. Income is paid monthly.
• On cost and how closely it delivers its stated mandate, it sits among the stronger builds in a crowded options-income field.

Worth knowing

• DIVO Every call sold hands back part of a big move up in that stock. That capped upside is the price of the extra income.amplifyetfs.com
• About 30 holdings means each name carries real weight, so a single stumble shows up more than it would in a broad index fund.
• Cheaper options-income peers exist (PAPI at 0.29%, TCAL at 0.34%), though they run different selection and overlay rules.

• SPIN The overlay pays for monthly income by giving up part of a sharp rally in the index it writes against. That trade sits at the heart of every covered-call fund.
• Small and lightly traded next to the category's household names, which can mean wider spreads getting in and out.
• Live since 2024, so the track record is short and hasn't spanned a full market cycle.
