JEPQ
J.P. Morgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF
stock NASDAQ ETF

Retired. 25% JEPQ 50%floating debt 25% SCHD. Averages to about 7.5%.

JEPQ derives its “Q” from the Nasdaq‑100 (QQQ),
which is built around the most valuable and influential tech companies in the United States.
Over multiple decades, the Nasdaq’s growth has consistently outperformed nearly every major market in the world.
Comparing it to European stock indices ignores the long-standing technological dominance and superior growth profile of U.S. megacap companies.

(A/B) not retired. Only 25 so a long way to go yet but not too long hopefully 🤞
(C) Around 20% which is all in JEPQ, the rest is S&P

There's some good Bluechip stocks that are EU aswell, however I am a fan of JEPQ because of the nice Monthly payouts + the German Capitalgains freebie of 1000€ a year works well so theres no tax drag. Obviously once you start generating substantial income with JEPQ your dividend will be taxed aswell every month. I used to hold JEPI aswell but I decided JEPQ was enough. I only do this because I know my Pension won't be enough once im 67 (currently a Nurse). Obviously the other 80% of my portfolio is pure Growth with EQQQ and EUNK.

I'm retired, w\my IRA, I've gone all in, with QQQI, SPYI, JEPI and JEPQ.
I contribute a small percentage of that income into SWVXX as my emergency cash.
I def use that monthly income for getting my bills paid.

Don’t EU stocks tend to have better dividends (maybe it’s just a more reasonable p/e that increases the yield).
I guess I’m just always surprised when I hear other countries interested in playing specifically in US stock products such as JEPQ

66 next week, still work, plan to retire @ 68 & 5 months. Want to work 1 yr without earnings penalty from SS, FRA 67. Have about 6% of portfolio invested in QQQI, SPYI, QDVO, GPIQ. I add significantly to this basket which pays me about $2,200 mo. But, I add more aggressively to my core holdings of the basics: mutual funds & ETFs, a few from Fidelity & Vanguard, Schwab, T Rowe Price…primarily VOO, VOOG, FSPTX, FXIAX, SCHG… Heavy on tech, S&P 500, banking. Old, very old. Also hold other SPACS, LPs, midstream pipeline companies such as MPLX, ET, ENB. Many other names too… O, JEPQ, BST, UTG, the dog PFE, BTI, MO, CGC (loser), STK, AGNC…
Most are winners and powerful dividend payers. Some are duds.
And lots of SPCX, META, AAPL, NVDA just for fun.
But, the best way to win: skip all this crap and add to your core holdings now & forever. The broad based, not too eccentric, S&P and Technology Funds are guaranteed intermediate & long term winners. They are also short term winners about 70% of the time. I feel like I’m too old to untangle the mess I made without significant tax consequence, but the bulk of new money, expected to continue forever, is invested in core ETF holdings, ROTHED to the max, but outside retirement accounts too. Some is peeled away for fun. We are all at the mercy of America in that risk assets could enter a prolonged period of downward repricing if the perception becomes the rapid decline of capitalism resulting from recent election results. Or, God forbid, if the investing community is convinced we are headed toward adoption of European economic and societal models. Then we’re truly doomed. If they kill the goose, real or imagined, our assets go with it.
There’s nowhere to hide if you have any money at all.

Retired. Probably less than 10% of my portfolio is in CC etfs. Have half of my assets managed by a wealth management team and the other half I control. I’m still currently dripping SPYI JEPQ MLPI I will start taking cash and drip half next year.

C. not close to retirement, i hope to supplement my Income with JEPQ here in Germany. I reinvest Dividends and add like 150-200Euros a month, gonna make it 20% of my portfolio.

Advice on a SCHD/JEPQ build..

JEPQ

Start maxing out your Roth and put the rest of your money in a high yield stock such as JEPQ

no. you need to Generate 2 million after tax dollar and put them into JEPQ/SPYI to get decent stress free monthly income. Those income need to check cover your medical bill or any unexpected outcome.

My general plan:
1) 401k is full growth, and will just 'grow as God intended'
2) My brokerage is full SCHD/SCHY/dividend, and I plan to dump as much as I can into that.
Come retirement, the intention/hope is for SCHD/SCHY/dividend to be pumping out enough dividends per quarter/month to support my lifestyle, and in theory, not have to touch my 401k at all. If I do touch the 401k, it'd be to convert it into a JEPQ/QQQI 'equivalent', and just live off dividends/monthly distributions.
I feel the SCHD/SCHY/higher dividend ETFs also tend to be 'safer' stocks in general, so it's a balancing act of the higher growth, higher volatility 401k, with the more "safe", deliberate choice of SCHD/SCHY in the brokerage.
My wife's and I's IRA/Roths are also dividend; VYMI/SCHY, focusing more on International dividend yield. Those would either just be utilized to DRIP into 'cash' at retirement, or converted to 'something else', QQQI/JEPQ equivalent type thing.

Swap out JEPQ for QQQM and don't aim for dividend yield. You're DRIPPING anyway, increasing the dividends isn't going to help your wealth-building.

DGRO has a dividend yield of about 2% right now, which is substantially lower than your other dividend income/growth ETFs. Move it into VYMI or SCHD and see if that gives you a little bump. I'm not sure it's a great idea, but you could always sacrifice more growth for dividend yield by turning either VOO or SCHG into more JEPQ.
Before doing any of that though, I would check and see how much VOO and SCHG have grown last month. If your holding of VOO or SCHG grew more than $700 in July, maybe reconsider. Maybe $700 a month on DRIP right now is enough. Dividend reinvestment is a slow ride. Sacrificing growth to advance it is usually a poor idea, unless you absolutely need the extra income right now.

IF this is in a taxable account JEPQ is not a tax efficient fund due tot he ELN nature of its covered calls. You could replace it with GPIQ which is tax efficient. But that would not boost your yield. QQQI is also tax efifivent with no NAV erosion and a 13% yield. That should get you close to dividend target of 4.5%

I think the bigger question here is whether the new piece will actually raise the yield on its own or whether you're really asking how much more yield-chasing one portfolio can absorb before the holdings start being the same bet in different wrappers.
JEPQ is already an options-overlay fund built largely from the same large US names VOO and SCHG hold, so adding more yield on top of it usually means piling into the same companies through another vehicle rather than diversifying the income stream away from them.
Nothing wrong with wanting 4.5% if that's the target, but if JEPQ and the dividend ETFs all get hit in the same quarter, your income line takes the same hit at the same time. I'd ask yourself whether a 4.5% yield from a few overlapping funds is really meaningfully different from your current 3.35% in the scenario that actually hurts.
Personally I'd be more comfortable looking at one sleeve that genuinely pulls from a different part of the market rather than a fifth ETF that overlaps with what's already there, but it depends on what kind of income you want.

GPIQ has out performed JEPQ by about 30% over the last three years.
GPIQ also perfoms well when compared to QQQ, generally staying within two points either ahead or behind.
GPIQ is my only long term hold covered call ETF.

Consider JEPQ as well. Lower expense ratio, downside protection, and decent NAV appreciation (higher than QQQI/SPYI even though admittedly has a longer track record). It does have a slightly lower dividebd yield but its something to consider dependent upon what you value in a holding of this nature, or particular qualities your looking for.
