Covered Call ETFs in Canada

Why invest
High monthly income (often 7-12% annualized). Reduced volatility. Ideal for investors seeking regular income.
How to choose
Compare distribution yield, coverage ratio (what proportion of stocks have sold options), and underlying assets.
Best account

What is a covered call ETF?
A covered call ETF holds stocks and sells call options on those positions. Premiums received generate high monthly income (often 7-12%), but in exchange, upside potential is capped.
Why do covered call ETFs underperform in bull markets?
When a stock exceeds the sold option's strike price, the ETF must deliver it at that capped price instead of capturing the full upside. In flat or declining markets, the strategy shines thanks to collected premiums.
