As you probably know, I love collecting passive income every single month. Who doesn't like moola?
But while covered call ETFs provide very enticing moola, those benefits come at a cost.

There are good reasons for investing in covered call ETFs and I share whose it is for and whose it is not for.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT COVERED CALL ETFS
Pros and Cons of Covered Call ETFs
Pros:
High yields (over 6%), pay monthly income.
Work for all accounts (can buy in your TFSA, RRSP)
Great for sideways or bearish markets as covered call premiums will be good because the pricing of options contracts is partly set by the volatility of the market
Cons:
Covered call ETFs underperform in the bull market
Covered call ETFs most of the time pay monthly distributions but are not always guaranteed
Don't need to do a lot of research
Who it is for
Those in their retirement looking to preserve their wealth and not grow their wealth
Those looking for predictable side income
Covered call ETFs thrive in a volatile bearish market and protect you from the downside
Covered Call ETFs are good for a basket of stocks that are not going anywhere
Downsides of Covered Call ETFs & Whose it NOT for
Not for those in the wealth accumulation stage
Require management fees (<1% as they are actively traded ETFs)
If you like having control of what you do with your money and knowing what companies you are investing in
