JEPI and JEPQ Yield Way More Than SCHD, but SCHD Could Produce More Passive Income Over the Long Term. Here's Why.

Key PointsCovered call ETFs limit the upside potential from stocks in exchange for monthly dividend income from options premiums.

Buy and hold high-quality companies or ETFs to build wealth over a long-term horizon, but some investors prioritize passive income. Bonds, Treasury Bills, money market funds, and high-yield savings accounts are traditional options for passive income outside equities.
