High Yield ETF Database
The explosion of the income ETF market has created a massive opportunity for high dividend yields, but it has also created a significant amount of confusion on how to approach these funds. With over 100 new funds launched that use complex derivatives, synthetic positions, and various leverage levels, it has become nearly impossible for the average investor to track which funds are actually sustainable.
We have funds that provide a dividend yields above 50% nowadays and it can be difficult to determine the risks associated.
To solve this, I have spent the last few months building the Option ETF Database. This is a comprehensive, professional grade tool designed to give you “X-ray vision” into every major covered call and options income fund on the market today.
How this tool changes your research process
Most free financial sites only show you the trailing yield and the price chart. My database goes deeper to ensure you understand the mechanics of what you are buying. Here is how this tool will benefit your portfolio management:
✅ Standardized Risk Classification
The “yield trap” is a real threat in this sector. I have implemented a proprietary four-tier risk rating system. This allows you to instantly filter the market by your comfort level, separating stable, index-linked funds from high-risk synthetic strategies that utilize 2x or 3x leverage.
✅ Transparency on “Synthetic” vs. “Direct” Ownership
Many of the highest yielding funds today do not actually own the underlying stock. They use Total Return Swaps and derivatives to mimic price action. The database explicitly flags these “Synthetic” strategies, which is critical for understanding your upside participation and your risk during market volatility. Compare the risk profile of different funds.
✅Visualizing the “WeeklyPay” Mechanics
The market is shifting toward weekly distributions. My database includes a dedicated breakdown of how these specific funds utilize leverage and swaps to generate that cash flow. We show you exactly what happens to the fund when the underlying stock rises versus when it falls, so you are never surprised by a distribution cut.
✅ Monitor funds that can lead to NAV Erosion
High yields often come at the cost of your principal. I have integrated tracking for NAV Erosion and Volatility Decay. By highlighting the Expense Ratio and the mathematical drag of daily rebalancing, the database helps you identify which funds are likely to erode your capital over the long term.
✅A Complete Educational Glossary
I want my subscribers to be the most informed investors in the room. The database includes a full glossary of terms. Whether you need to look up the 30-Day SEC Yield or understand how a Covered Call Strategy caps your upside, the definitions are built right into the interface.
Exclusive Access for Paid Subscribers
This database is a premium resource reserved exclusively for paid members of this Substack. Because these funds change their strategies and distributions frequently, the database requires constant manual oversight and data validation to remain accurate.
Your support allows me to keep this tool updated weekly with new fund launches, updated expense ratios, and changing risk profiles as market volatility shifts. If you are currently a free subscriber, upgrading will grant you immediate, full access to the database and all future deep dives.
