Why a $8.3 Million Cut to a 12% Yield ETF Signals a Portfolio Reset

Foguth Wealth Management reduced its position in the Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF (QYLD) by 475,844 shares ($8.28 million) in Q4, signaling a strategic portfolio shift away from high-yield income plays toward broader equity exposure. The move reflects concerns that covered-call ETFs, while offering attractive 12% yields, systematically cap upside potential and underperform the S&P 500 over longer periods.

The article highlights structural limitations of the fund's covered-call strategy, which caps upside potential and trails the S&P 500 by ~7.27 percentage points. The significant institutional sell-off signals reduced confidence in the fund as a core holding, with the article noting it's better suited as a tactical allocation rather than a long-term investment.
