IWMI
NEOS Russell 2000 High Income ETF
stock BATS ETF

Wow, haven't heard of most of these. 38 with 500k account and trying to retire to Asia. I'm OK with volatile income swinging between 2-3k month and putting the rest into growth. Very interested in the NEOS products but also don't want to limit growth with more income than I really need.
Are all these tickers really necessary or did you get carried away? I was considering the minimum position necessary in SCHD, SPYI, QQQI, IWMI, and BTCI (maybe MSTY) to meet monthly income target and put rest into growth, favorite stocks, and discretionary option plays.
Most of capital is in taxable account with only 100k or so in IRAs. Will probably keep 100k cash on hand until I adjust to a new life over there and feel comfortable.

BDCs: MAIN, ARCC, FDUS, GAIN, GLAD.
BDC ETF: PBDC.
CEFs: EOI, ETY, EOS, ADX.
CEF ETF: CEFS.
MLP ETF: AMLP.
Covered call ETF: SPYI, QQQI, IWMI, BTCI.
Partial Covered call ETFs: DIVO, QDVO, IDVO.
Preferred Stock ETF: VRP, PFFA.
CLOs: JAAA, JBBB, ICLO, CLOZ.

The NEOS funds of SPYI, QQQI, IWMI, and BTCI are all good options. But I think pretty much all covered call funds pay at least monthly, so that would include JEPI/JEPQ, BALI, GPIX/GPIQ, and a ton of others.
I also like the Amplify offerings of DIVO, QDVO, and IDVO.
DLN is a solid monthly dividend ETF for qualified dividends. Very solid total return, though yield is low. DIA is another monthly-yielder, which actually surprised me even though I've been holding this for over 8 years now.
CEFS is a good CEF ETF that pays monthly. I also like EOI, EOS, ETY, and ADX as individual monthly-paying CEFs.
MAIN and GAIN are two monthly paying BDCs I like.
VRP is a monthly paying preferred stock ETF. PFFA also does monthly, and I know people who like that one, but I don't hold it.
O is a well-known monthly-paying REIT.
And, of course, basically all bond funds and CLO ETFs.
