Retirees Are Dropping Traditional Bonds for This 12%-Yielding Income Fund

Retirees are shifting from bonds to the NEOS S&P 500 High Income ETF (SPYI), which offers a 12% annualized yield from S&P 500 covered-call premiums. SPYI has attracted $6.9 billion in assets but caps upside gains during rallies. Goldman Sachs agreed to acquire NEOS Investments for up to $2.25 billion, expected to close in Q1 2027. SPYI's yield is sourced mainly from return of capital, not earned income, and its performance lags the S&P 500 during bull markets.
