GPTYDYieldMax AI & Tech Portfolio Option Income ETF

XLEIBState Street Energy Select Sector SPDR Premium Income ETF

In short

GPTY Most YieldMax funds rent exposure to a single stock. GPTY actually owns a focused basket of 15 to 30 AI infrastructure and tech names and sells call spreads against them, so the income comes with a slice of upside still attached.

XLEI State Street's 1998-vintage energy sector fund, wrapped in a call-writing overlay. Same oil and gas majors, monthly income from selling options against them, minus some of the upside when crude runs.

Stated mandate

GPTY The Fund seeks current income and capital appreciation through a focused portfolio of approximately 15 to 30 publicly traded AI infrastructure and technology companies. It seeks option income by selling call spreads on portfolio holdings while retaining direct equity exposure.

XLEI The fund seeks current income while preserving prospects for long-term capital growth by investing in an energy-sector ETF and selling call options on it to generate additional premium income.

Why people hold it

  • GPTY Holds the shares outright. Direct equity in roughly 15 to 30 AI infrastructure and tech companies, not a synthetic stand-in for them.yieldmaxetfs.com
  • Sells call spreads, not plain calls. That collects less premium than writing naked calls, but leaves room above the short strike instead of selling every dollar of upside.yieldmaxetfs.com
  • Income arrives on a weekly declared cadence, and the option-writing engine that funds it is spelled out in the fund's own documents.yieldmaxetfs.com
  • XLEI Underlying is the original energy sector SPDR, trading since 1998: market-cap-weighted S&P 500 oil, gas and services names. No stock picking, just an overlay on a known quantity.stockanalysis.com
  • Pays monthly, and the mandate is written to seek income while preserving prospects for long-term growth rather than sell away all the upside.ssga.com
  • Calls are written on the sector ETF itself, not dozens of single stocks, so the overlay runs off one liquid options chain.ssga.com
  • The 0.35% fee sits right at the median for sector covered-call funds, and the build stands among the stronger ones in that peer group.

Worth knowing

  • GPTY The 1.06% fee runs about three times the 0.35% charged by sector-overlay income peers such as XLVI and XLUI.
  • The issuer discloses that payouts can include return of capital, so part of a distribution may be your own money coming back rather than earnings.yieldmaxetfs.com
  • Launched in 2025 around one narrow theme, so the record is short and a handful of AI names drive what the portfolio does.
  • XLEI Written calls cap the rally: above the strike, further gains go to the option buyer and the fund keeps the premium instead.ssga.com
  • One narrow sector, market-cap weighted, so the integrated majors dominate. Nothing inside cushions a broad crude selloff.stockanalysis.com
  • A 2025 launch, so there is no record through a full energy cycle yet, and it trades lightly next to the sector fund it holds.
