  • I love generating passive income. I currently use that income to make more income-generating investments. My goal is to eventually make enough income from passive sources to cover my routine living expenses.

The article from MSN Money discusses the allure of investing in an ultra-high-yielding ETF, specifically the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI). The author highlights JEPI's attractive features: it offers a high yield of 7.5% through a strategy that involves selling covered call options on the S&P 500, which not only generates income but also aims to reduce volatility. Despite its high yield, JEPI has managed to outperform the S&P 500 over certain periods, providing both income and capital appreciation. The ETF's strategy includes investing in low-volatility stocks and using options to enhance income, which has led to its popularity among investors seeking income in a low-interest-rate environment. However, the author also notes potential downsides, such as the cap on potential gains due to the options strategy and the fact that JEPI might underperform in a strongly bullish market. Despite these considerations, the combination of income generation, lower volatility, and competitive performance makes JEPI an irresistible choice for the author, who continues to invest in it.
