If you’re thinking about retirement, nearing retirement, or already enjoying it, one concern tends to rise above the rest: reliable cash flow.
One of the most effective ways to accomplish that is through passive income combined with long-term growth. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs), particularly those offered by Vanguard and other major providers, make this approach both accessible and cost-efficient.
Below are three yielding funds that stand out for income-focused investors looking to protect their portfolios while generating steady cash flow.
JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPQ)
One of the most compelling income-focused ETFs on the market today is the JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPQ).
With a yield of approximately 11.52%, JEPQ is designed to deliver high monthly income while maintaining exposure to U.S. large-cap growth stocks.
JEPQ employs a covered-call strategy, generating income by selling options on Nasdaq-linked securities while holding a portfolio of large-cap growth stocks. This strategy allows the fund to collect option premiums, which are then distributed to investors as income.
Many of you may already know my disapproval of looking at anything other than direct price action of the market you are trading; to say nothing of my contempt for some of the more ‘exotic’ indicators out there. Well, one of the hot new twists in technical analysis that vendors and system designers have come up with are indicators where the price of one market becomes a signal for a trade in another (related) one. The term in vogue days is ‘Intermarket Analysis’. What started out several years ago known simply as ‘Correlation’ has been carried to a whole new level. And needless to say, I think it’s been carried just a little bit too far.
One of the more ‘popular’ relationships that people look at these days is between the Bond market and the CRB Index. Traditional argument is that these two markets are negatively correlated, since the CRB is a proxy for inflation. If general commodity prices are rising, this means the overall economy is expanding, along with inflationary pressures, and thus the government will have to raise interest rates (bond prices go down) in order to keep the economy under control. On the other hand, if interest rates remain low (bond prices are high), this means we are still in the recessionary phase of the economic cycle, where we would expect commodity prices to be weak. And in fact, in the summer of 1990, a falling CRB Index kept me from selling a short-side breakout in bonds which ultimately was a false breakout, thus saving myself some money.
But are the Bonds and CRB really negatively correlated, or at least consistently enough to be able to use this information to make money trading? While these two markets did go in opposite directions
