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.

UPSD —No data

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.
