GPTYDYieldMax AI & Tech Portfolio Option Income ETF

XLSIAState Street Consumer Staples 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.

XLSI Covered calls on the market's quietest aisle. XLSI owns the classic consumer staples sector fund and sells calls on it, turning soup, soap and razors into monthly income while giving up gains above the strike.

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.

XLSI The fund uses an actively managed strategy intended to provide current income while preserving prospects for long-term capital growth. It invests in the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF and sells call options on that ETF to generate additional 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
  • XLSI Simple plumbing: it holds shares of the staples Select Sector fund (XLP) and writes calls on that same ETF, so the equity sleeve is the plain sector basket, not a synthetic stand-in.ssga.com
  • 0.35% sits right at the median for its option-income sector cohort, the same sticker as siblings XLVI, XLUI and XLEI.
  • Pays monthly, and the call overlay is actively managed: a manager sets the strikes rather than following a fixed published formula.ssga.com
  • Sticks tightly to the mandate on the tin, and ranks among the stronger builds in its sector-overlay 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.
  • XLSI The calls cap the top end: gains above the strike on the underlying staples fund are traded away for premium.ssga.com
  • Option premiums rise and fall with volatility, so the monthly payout moves around. Income, not a coupon.
  • Launched in 2025 and small next to the giant option-income names, so the record is short and trading is light. Spreads can widen.
