Just looking at 2 ETFs as an example. BST and QYLG
So, these ETFs both paid out a special dividend in December last year. Covered call ETFs make money by selling calls, seeing as that last year was pretty volatile, I'm assuming this means that they both paid out their special dividends because of the extra money they made from higher than usual premiums. I don't actually know how they work, this is just my assumption. So, seeing as this year has been insanely volatile, would be it be unrealistic to expect another special dividend either this year or next year?
Those dividends seem really appealing if this market calms down a bit, especially because I want to invest for income more than growth, I'm looking to find a balance of like 60% income & 40% growth. What do you think?
