## Resource

JEPQ just smashed its own record with a 74-cent payout per share — nearly doubling JEPI’s annualized yield. While both ETFs generate income by selling call options on stocks, JEPQ targets the volatile Nasdaq-100 (heavy on tech like Nvidia and Apple), while JEPI sticks to the more stable S&P 500. That riskier play has paid off: JEPQ delivered over 20% total return in a year, more than double JEPI. But higher payouts come with higher risk — JEPQ’s income is more volatile and taxed as ordinary income, making it less ideal for retirees or high-tax-bracket investors.
