What This Transaction Means for Investors
Wick Capital, a Pennsylvania-based investment advisory firm, recently sold approximately 94,000 shares of Goldman Sachs S&P 500 Premium Income ETF (GPIX). Here’s what investors need to know about the ETF in question.
First off, GPIX is a core income ETF. That means that the fund aims to derive significant income from core stock positions — in this case, S&P 500 stocks. However, simply passing on the dividends alone from those core holdings wouldn’t deliver much income. After all, the S&P 500 sports a modest dividend of around 1.1%. To boost the fund’s yield, GPIX employs a covered call strategy by selling call options against its core equity holdings. Consequently, the fund pays a much larger amount of dividends, resulting in a divided yield of 8.1%.
While this strategy is appealing for income-oriented investors, there are some trade-offs. For one, the fund’s covered call strategy means that investors give up some upside potential. If the stock market experiences a sharp bullish move, the fund will miss out on some of those gains. In point of fact, the fund has underperformed the S&P 500 over the last two years, generating a total return of 36% versus 39% for the benchmark index.
At any rate, income-seeking investors would still be wise to consider this ETF. Its hefty dividend yield, along with a competitive expense ratio of 0.29%, make it a viable choice for investors looking to combine S&P 500 stability with a significant income stream.
