Tuesday's Bonus Article Replace Your Fixed Income With This Dividend ETFWritten by Jordan Chussler. Published 9/24/2025. 
Key Points - With the Federal Reserve slashing its benchmark interest rate for the first time since 2024, yields on fixed income are heading lower.
- For income-focused investors, dividend ETFs can help offset losses from less productive debt securities like Treasury bills and CDs.
- Because these funds often use options strategies to produce higher yields, it is important to be aware of the tax treatment for their dividends.
On Sept. 17, the Federal Reserve finally gave Wall Street what it had been asking for by cutting its effective federal funds rate (EFFR) for the first time since 2024. Unsurprisingly, the market reacted positively and is up 1.42% since that announcement. Debt securities have grown increasingly unappealing to income investors accustomed to above-average pandemic-era yields. If the Fed continues cutting the EFFR through year-end—as it did last September through December—many investors will likely turn to equities to offset lost income.

And only one company here in the U.S. can mine this obscure metal. Click here to get the details on this virtual monopoly. That said, a lot could change before year end. Market uncertainty persists, and inflation—which was nearing the Fed's 2% target—is creeping higher again. A rate cut at next month's FOMC meeting is far from guaranteed. Still, the odds are already priced in, with nearly a 90% chance according to the CME Group's FedWatch Tool. If you're hunting for better yields, the NEOS S&P 500 High Income ETF (BATS: SPYI) deserves a close look. SPYI's Eye-Catching Monthly Dividend The era of near-zero‐risk investments offering sky‐high yields is over. In May 2022, Series I bonds paid 9.62%; today, they yield just 3.98%. That still tops one-year muni bonds at 2.06%, but I‐bond rates will almost certainly fall after Oct. 31 when they reset for the next six months. Enter SPYI. This actively managed fund carries a reasonable expense ratio of 0.68% and aims to deliver "high monthly income in a tax-efficient manner with the potential for upside appreciation in rising markets." First, let's focus on that dividend. SPYI currently yields 11.67% (about $6.15 annually), paid monthly. NEOS achieves this via an S&P 500 index‐fund options strategy that preserves upside potential in rising markets. Rather than just selling at-the-money calls, NEOS also buys out-of-the-money options. This approach lets SPYI capture more of the benchmark's gains than comparable dividend ETFs like JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSEARCA: JEPI), which limits upside by only selling near-the-money calls. Since its Aug. 30, 2022 launch, SPYI has returned 8.46% while delivering an average annual yield of 10%–11%. From its April 4 low, the fund has climbed nearly 23%. A Deep Portfolio With Growth-Focused Holdings SPYI and JEPI also differ in their holdings. JEPI blends growth names with cyclicals (financials) and defensive staples, whereas SPYI's top 10 closely mirror the S&P 500, led by tech, consumer discretionary, and communication-services giants like NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META). By industry, SPYI allocates 27% to semiconductors, 22% to software, 17% to media, and 16% to specialty retail. With over 500 holdings—versus about 125 in JEPI—it offers broader diversification alongside its covered‐call strategy. Understanding SPYI's Tax Treatment One potential drawback of high-yield ETFs is tax treatment. Many distribute returns of capital (ROC), which count as ordinary income taxed at up to 37%. SPYI's distributions aren't qualified dividends, but the fund's structure under Section 1256 of the U.S. tax code allows for a favorable 60/40 split: 60% of gains taxed at long-term capital gains rates, 40% as ROC at ordinary rates, thanks to NEOS's tax-loss harvesting. By contrast, most of JEPI's distributions are taxed as ordinary income—another point in SPYI's favor for yield-focused, tax-sensitive investors.
