While the thread is buzzing with haves and have nots about PB results
Do any of the grown ups have any opinion on covered-call ETFs for income?
For income they do seem to do what they say on the tin, growth, much less so but i don't think growth is the point of them

Equally humbled, which puts a lot of pressure on both of them😉. Me, I had no clue what they are, partly because I'm less oriented towards ETFs than I should be . But as the grumpy old git who is busy buying gilts, I am grateful to @Carter for guessing that I'd be interested.Diebythesword said:

@Rob7Lee @PragueAddick @golfaddick @Diebythesword
So I asked my 2nd fav AI platform (Perplexity) and it basically said "perfect for an over-cautious, miserable old git like you with an inadequate pension and resident in Central Europe". Smart arsed twat. However when it rattled off some specific examples of such ETFs I started to see the snag, at least for me (but not necessarily for you @Carter and others who may be 30 years younger than me).
All those ETFs were choosing their portfolio of stocks by tracking the Nasdaq 100, or in some cases a global equity fund (which nowadays will be full of the Big 7 too). I've been busy trying to get a lot of that stuff out of my portfolio in recent weeks. I think they choose those indices in order to at least have a chance of decent capital growth as well as income. This may be fine if you want some income but are not afraid of a sharp short-term pull back led by the Nasdaq. But I am afraid of it, due to my age. StillI'm going to look further at the range of these ETFs in search of some with a less volatile -looking underlying stock portfolio. Something like a UK/European/ Asia Pacific equity income portfolio would be reassuring.
Great question though @Carter, thanks a lot. Would love to read some more informed thoughts on them.1 -
Very kind of both of you to answer
Like a lot of things, opinions etc when you start searching for more information on them you can be drawn into either a sales-pitch or an anti perspective. AI is good factually however that will generally collate information already floating out there.
I've made a small investment and grouped a few together into a couple of pies and they have dipped in value but are chucking out regular dividends. The growth bit doesn't worry me per se but I'm not a rich man so these investments are always done with one eye on having to remove the money at any given time as much as I believe in investing being for the long term
