QYLD seeks yield from the Nasdaq-100 via options premium. Historically, investors came to the Nasdaq for growth, not yield. Enter QYLD, which provides Nasdaq-100 exposure but earns income by selling call options and passes it on to investors net of fees. Covered call ETFs are hardly new, but QYLD was the first to apply it to the Nasdaq-100. Expect a generally less volatile return pattern from QYLD relative to ETFs tracking the Nasdaq-100. Investors should use great care trading and monitor the asset levels. Also, note that the fund's prospectus allows a bit of leverage. The fund rebranded and changed its name from Recon Capital NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF to Horizons Nasdaq-100 Covered Call ETF on Feb. 28, 2017. Then on Oct. 22, 2028, the fund rebranded and updated its name to reflect Global X.
