Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

EGGSCNestYield Total Return Guard ETF

PAYRAFederated Hermes Enhanced Income ETF

In short

EGGS A hand-picked basket of U.S. stocks wrapped in an options collar: EGGS gives up part of the upside to hedge against significant declines, and pays monthly along the way.

PAYR No data

Stated mandate

EGGS Seeks current income and exposure to selected U.S.-listed equities while moderating potential gains and hedging significant market declines through actively managed direct or synthetic equity exposure and options.

PAYR No data

Why people hold it

  • EGGS Sells upside to buy coverage. The mandate moderates potential gains and hedges significant market declines with options, not just harvesting premium for yield.sec.gov
  • Income is the declared first job here, and the fund distributes on a monthly schedule.
  • 0.93% net of a waiver through March 30, 2027 (0.99% gross) sits near the middle of its active options-income category, hedge overlay included.
  • Actively managed and concentrated: a chosen slate of U.S.-listed equities held directly or synthetically, not an index clone.

PAYR No data

Worth knowing

  • EGGS The hedge is paid for in upside. Gains on the underlying stocks are deliberately moderated, so a roaring rally does not come through in full.
  • Small and thinly traded, so spreads can run wider than at the category's larger funds.
  • Launched December 2024, so the risk record is short, and the build lands in the lower half of a crowded peer group. Cheaper options exist: RECI (0.30%), TCAL (0.34%).
