MLPI: The One Covered Call ETF I'd Buy For Retirement Income

NEOS MLP & Energy Infrastructure High Income ETF remains my top covered call ETF pick for retirement income portfolios. MLPI offers a compelling 15.1% annualized yield, resilient cash flows, and value-oriented midstream assets, supporting durable income and downside protection. Covered call overlay enhances yield and mitigates downside, though basis risk may cause underperformance during sharp index rallies. Favorable macro dynamics—elevated oil prices and sector strength—position MLPI holdings for continued cash flow and operational improvements.
