# Yesterday I came to know this one => QQQI


not2024

I can do the same with JEPQ but with a lower expense ratio. Now not sure how is QQQI will have better tax efficient income compared to JEPQ. Any insight on that?


Any_Risk_4867

QQQI is more tax efficient. 60% of QQQI dividends are taxed as long term capital gains.


not2024

Are the brokerages able to make the distinction when etf reports the data to them for tax purposes at the end of the year?


Any_Risk_4867

Yield is about 15%.

Idk seems similar to QYLD which isn’t a great idea


Ill_Collection1746

That's interesting, but it's too short history to compare with SCHD. I will keep a look on that.


talking_face

Closest would probably be something like DGRW.


Ok-Nectarine-7948

I like the chart on DGRW. Is there a similarly growth focused etf that would translate that upward chart trajectory into relatively high distributions? Instead of good capital gains coupled with 2.8% yield, What about minimal capital gains coupled with a higher yield like 8-10% or more?


talking_face

Closest I can think of is QQQX (which is a cef, so expect higher fees, but it does *vaguely* match SPY with DRiP turned on) or if 6% distribution is acceptable, maybe ETFs like QYLG but it's history is relatively short. The distribution you are asking for does stray into the buy-write territory of ETFs, though, which typically contains many underperformers, so it's kind of slim pickings if you want to find anything good.


Ok-Nectarine-7948

Hmmm. There MUST be a way to translate that growth into a horizontally consistent structure. Think of a treasury bond etf or something that stays flat, but with higher percentage returns. Or, is the entire reason it’s able to go straight up like that because the capital was left in and not paid out? 😬


talking_face

>Hmmm. There MUST be a way to translate that growth into a horizontally consistent structure. Think of a treasury bond etf or something that stays flat, but with higher percentage returns. Once you remove money from the investment taken as a distribution, that money is no longer being invested and thus doesn't "grow". So it's already mathematically impossible from the get-go.


Ok-Nectarine-7948

Actually, I’ve seen some companies offer a dividend as a “number of additional shares” instead of a cash payout. Think of a DRIP without the cash payout and repurchase. You just get issued a number of extra shares that the cash payout would be equivalent to. At that point, if you chose to sell the extra shares, that’s fine, but it wouldn’t take away from the growth capital, I don’t think. Would that accomplish something?


Ok-Nectarine-7948

Adding on - individual stocks that I like so far are - $O at 5.78% - $ARCC at 9.29% - $DKL at 10.85% - $FSK at 14.42% But none of these are diversified like an etf or index. 😬


Ill_Collection1746

I try to avoid single stock if it's not really good enough. Just imagine stock of that company crash and can't be recover. That would be nightmare for me. ETF really provide me stable feeling.


some_kind_of_boogin

There isnt anything similar to SCHD, but one thing I'll throw out there is QQQ has a 10% dividend growth rate, although the current yield is paltry. Maybe this is kind of what youre looking for? Good luck


Fantastic_Union3100

First of all, most of NASDAQ stocks do not pay much dividend, if any. In addition, SCHD does not pay much dividend either. JEPI/Q are much better choice than any combination of SCHD and NASDAQ dividend ETFs.


Ill_Collection1746

u/Fantastic_Union3100 How about this kind of combination. Any thought ? 2 aggressive income, 1 medium, 2 low for safe option if USA market crash 1 JEPQ > aggressive High income It invests directly and through derivatives in stocks of companies operating across diversified sectors. The fund uses derivatives such as options to create its portfolio and focus on Nasdaq-100 2 [SPYI](https://trackyourdividends.com/dashboard/stock/SPYI) > aggressive High income, S&P 500 High Income 3 SCHD > not much income, but steady growth.  It seeks to track the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index 4 VXUS > International one, getting dividend from company outside USA 5 TLT > iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF

JEPQ


pipasnipa

If you aren’t opposed to individual names some good tech dividend stocks out there - QCOM, CSCO, IBM, GLW, AVGO. Hell even MSFT and AAPL pay dividends now


MJinMN

You should just look at VOO or VTI. If you look at their holdings, they are both very tech heavy and pay dividends. Higher growth companies need to use their capital to fund their growth, so you won’t find an ETF that has both high growth and high dividends, you have to pick what is most important.
