EDGXBGlobal X U.S. 500 Income Edge ETF

QVOLDInfrastructure Capital Nasdaq Option Income ETF

In short

EDGX Income on a weekly clock. EDGX writes calls on part of a 500-stock US large-cap core, targets a 9% annualized distribution rate, and currently charges nothing: the 0.50% fee is waived to zero through March 1, 2027.

QVOL Most Nasdaq option-income funds bolt a mechanical call overlay onto an index. QVOL is the discretionary version: a manager choosing which Nasdaq names to hold and which calls to write, aiming at a stated 12% to 15% annualized payout target. Young, hands-on, and priced like it.

Stated mandate

EDGX The fund seeks current income and exposure to the Solactive GBS United States 500 Index. It is actively managed and generates weekly income by writing call options.

QVOL The Fund seeks high current monthly income and, secondarily, capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

EDGX The entire 0.50% fee is waived to zero through March 1, 2027. Peers in the group carry theirs with no waiver: DJIA at 0.60%, THTA at 0.65%, HYGW at 0.69%.
Pays weekly rather than quarterly, targeting a 9% annualized distribution rate funded by option premiums and the dividends thrown off by its equity sleeve.globalxetfs.com globalxetfs.com 2
Calls are sold on only a portion of the portfolio, and the managers dial coverage up or down as market conditions shift, so some equity exposure stays uncapped.globalxetfs.com globalxetfs.com 2
One of the stronger implementations in a crowded options-income field of roughly two dozen funds.

QVOL Actively managed, not rules-based: it can sell calls on individual Nasdaq companies or on indexes, rather than running one fixed monthly overlay on a single index.substack.com
States a target annualized distribution rate of 12% to 15%, funded by call premiums plus dividends from the stocks it holds. Income first, appreciation second.infracapfunds.com
Owns real Nasdaq-listed equities and writes options against them, so what you see in the holdings file is the actual exposure.infracapfunds.com

Worth knowing

EDGX The waiver ends March 1, 2027. Unless it is extended, the 0.50% gross expense ratio applies after that.
The covered slice gives up gains above the strike, and the 9% figure is a target, not a floor: distributions come out of NAV and may include return of capital.streetinsider.com
Launched in 2026, it is a small fund that trades thinly, so the bid-ask spread is part of the cost of getting in and out.

QVOL At 0.82% a year it costs more than the typical fund in its option-income peer group, and well more than index-overlay rivals like DYLG (0.35%) and DJIA (0.60%).
Launched in 2026 and thinly traded, so spreads can be wider than in the category's household names and the track record is still short.
Selling calls trades away part of a Nasdaq rally, and the manager flags that heavy turnover can mean larger capital gains distributions.infracapfunds.com
