EDGX vs SPCI

EDGXBGlobal X U.S. 500 Income Edge ETF

SPCIFTuttle Capital Space Industry Income Blast 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.

SPCI Space-theme income funds usually sell calls and cap the upside. SPCI flips it: roughly 100% exposure to the Syntax Space Industry Index, with premium harvested from put credit spreads instead. The income comes off the downside, not the upside.

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.

SPCI The Fund seeks current income.

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.comglobalxetfs.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.comglobalxetfs.com 2
• One of the stronger implementations in a crowded options-income field of roughly two dozen funds.

• SPCI Aims to keep about 100% economic exposure to its space index using stock and deep in-the-money calls, so the income engine is not built by selling away the theme's upside.newsfilecorp.com
• Premium comes from put credit spreads: sell a near-the-money put, buy a lower-strike put. Defined-risk structure with a floor under the short leg, not a naked short put.newsfilecorp.com
• The index reaches across the whole space stack (satellite operators and manufacturers, launch, GPS and geospatial, spacecraft) and holds pure-play and partial-exposure names, rebalanced quarterly.newsfilecorp.com
• Built to send cash out on a recurring schedule rather than reinvest it, with option premium funding the payout.

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.

• SPCI The 0.99% fee sits above the option-income peer median of 0.74%, and above established names in the group such as DJIA (0.60%) and AIPI (0.65%).
• A small, thinly traded fund. Wider bid-ask spreads are the usual trade-off, and size like this leaves less cushion if interest stays light.
• Full index exposure plus short puts means both legs lean the same way in a selloff, and the strategy launched in 2026, so there is little history to judge it on.newsfilecorp.com
