VOOY and Chill? This NEW ETF Could Be Better Than VOO!

from Dividend Stockpile · host Dividend Stockpile

Today on Dividend Stockpile, I’m joined by David Nicholas from XFunds to take a deep dive into VOOY, the brand-new income ETF launching today, 9/2/26. VOOY focuses on U.S. large-cap stocks and ETFs, but takes a very different approach to generating income by using both put spreads and call spreads rather than relying primarily on traditional covered calls.We discuss why XFunds created VOOY, how it compares with traditional large-cap ETFs like VOO, and whether investors looking for income should consider adding VOOY to their portfolios.In this interview, we cover:• What is the investment thesis behind VOOY?• How does VOOY differ from VOO and other large-cap income ETFs?• What stocks and ETFs does VOOY currently hold?• How do the put spread and call spread strategies work?• Why use spreads instead of a traditional covered call strategy?• When does XFunds use put spreads versus call spreads?• How are DTE, Delta, and other option parameters determined?• What is the expected yield and distribution frequency?• How does VOOY balance income with potential capital appreciation?• Where does VOOY fit into the growing XFunds ETF lineup?• What other ETFs are coming from XFunds?• And ultimately, could VOOY be a better option than VOO for investors who want income?If you're interested in VOO, VOOY, income ETFs, dividend investing, covered call ETFs, options income, and generating cash flow from your portfolio, this is an interview you won't want to miss.IMPORTANT: This video is for informational and educational purposes only and is not investment advice.
