TECYFGraniteShares YieldBOOST Technology ETF

XLUIBState Street Utilities Select Sector SPDR Premium Income ETF

In short

TECY TECY owns no tech stocks. It sells put spreads on a 3x leveraged tech ETF, harvesting the fat premiums leverage creates, aiming for triple the option income of the plain sector index. Upside is capped by design.

XLUI Utilities run on regulated cash flows and steady dividends, the market's slow lane. XLUI parks there and sells calls against it, turning quiet into monthly income. It arrived in 2025 as part of the first suite to bolt a premium-income overlay onto sector SPDRs.

Stated mandate

TECY TECY seeks income from options strategies, mainly by selling puts on leveraged ETFs that track the 3x Long Technology Daily ETF.

XLUI The fund is an actively managed equity strategy seeking current income and long-term capital growth by investing in the State Street Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF and selling call options on that ETF.

Why people hold it

  • TECY The engine: options on a 3x leveraged tech ETF carry far richer premiums, so the fund targets 3x the income of writing options on the Technology Select Sector Index itself.graniteshares.com
  • The leverage sits in the ETF whose options it sells, not in TECY's own book. The fund itself does not borrow or lever its portfolio.graniteshares.com
  • A floor is built into the trade: sell a near-the-money put, buy a further out-of-the-money put. The short leg's loss is bounded, not open-ended.graniteshares.com
  • Runs an options-desk strategy inside a fund wrapper and pays the premium out on a recurring schedule rather than reinvesting it.graniteshares.com
  • XLUI Simple plumbing: it owns State Street's utilities sector ETF and writes calls on that same fund. No stock picking, no basket drift, the sector exposure the label implies.ssga.com
  • 0.35% a year sits right at the median for its sector call-writing peers, and the cash comes monthly rather than quarterly.
  • One of the strongest builds in its sector-overlay group, with health care sibling XLVI, and the strategy it runs matches the one on the tin.
  • Eleven sector versions launched together, all on the same wrapper and the same 0.35% fee, so switching the sector tilt does not mean switching strategy.nasdaq.com

Worth knowing

  • TECY Costs 1.07% a year, about triple the 0.35% median for sector options-income funds and the 0.35% State Street charges on XLVI and XLUI.
  • Gains are capped: the secondary objective is leveraged-ETF exposure subject to a cap, so a big tech run is only partly captured while drawdowns reference a 3x product.graniteshares.com
  • Launched in 2026 with a small asset base and light trading, so spreads can run wider than in the established sector income funds.
  • XLUI Written calls trade away part of a rally. When utilities run hard, the premium collected is what you get instead of the full move.ssga.com
  • Launched in 2025 and still a small fund that trades thinly, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than on the underlying sector ETF.
  • One sector, one underlying holding. Results track utilities, and the monthly payout moves with option premiums and dividends rather than a fixed rate.ssga.com
