You deserve 100k subscribers, your interviews are always so interesting. Thanks for not only asking direct questions, but also for being a good listener, picking up on details and being flexible in the way you conduct the interviews.
I really appreciate your feedback. Interviewing is harder than it looks but I'm working on improving with each one. Only 85k subs to go and that 100k is a done deal ;)
Very thought-provoking, high value, interview. It certainly is going to propel me into a deep dive of Kurv and their family of funds. I've avoided the single-stock ETFs to this point, but could see myself toe-dipping into MSFY, GOOP, or AMZP. Thanks for the channel!
I have a similar view. I discounted single stock income funds but after talking to Howard, I'm open to them. However, the concentration risk is still there so I'd want to allocate accordingly.
This was a very good interview. The Kurv CEO well articulated a lot of this and helped lay it out in a way that was easy to visualize. Thanks for this!
Good interview. I think Kurv has a solid approach, but my largest concern is simply the financial and operational viability of the individual ETF's. They do not have significant AUM according to publicly available data. They did file for a Yield Premium Technology Select (fund-of-funds essentially per the SEC filing) that I think would be a great option for enhanced income with focused NAV considerations. That would be of greatest interest to me in terms of their offerings (potential in this case). Other recent filings were a Short Maturity ETF and a Tax Optimized Large Cap ETF. Like other firms, they have many more filings that have not yet come to market, but those 3 are the most recent public filings.
Nice detective work...yes, you described their pipeline. It's too early for me for the reasons you gave, however, I thought it was interesting to learn about their strategy.
Based on his choice of words, I inferred that one of the ETFs was going to be a bond ETF, so the Short Maturity ETF will probably be something like that. I'm interested in what the final version of the Tax Optimized Large Cap ETF will turn out to be.
Will be interesting to see what sort of distribution % the new funds will generate. Lower volatility will mean a lower payout but could be a good balance for the single stock positions.
This is a very good interview. I learned some things from Howard Chan with the help of a good interviewer with great questions. I took a hit from investing in TSLY and learned a hard lesson. I am interested in YMAX and may look into how to play Kurv ETFs but I am very reluctant to invest into a single stock hi-yield option ETF, again.
Hi Jay, See my other post here an YM vs Kurv, specifically for TSLY vs TSLP. Spoiler: about the same. I own several YM ETF's and they are doing well. NVDY, AMZY and FBY. Could be worse, you could have owned TSLA direct. :-/
Great interview questions and the detailed responses from KURV were excellent. My opinion of their funds after hearing how and why they make their decisions really improved from this interview. I'm currently still allocating the aggressive portion of my portfolio into Yieldmax funds, but Kurv looks to have some really solid retirement style funds. Look forward to seeing more from them.
VIIKING - Can you talk more about your YieldMax experience? It appears their strategy is to erode principle in the name of increasing shares. I'm interested in buying into either YMAX or AMDY (I think AMD has a great future) but I don't want my principle to disappear.
@@SomeUserNameBlahBlah Creative username. :) I own about 10 of the yieldmax funds including AMD & YMAX. From my experience only the funds with very volatile underlying stocks erode principle, because the covered call strategy can only capture some of the upside when their value goes up. The Defiance funds are the best example of this (QQQY, IWMY or yieldmax TSLY, CONY, etc). Defiance are the hardest hit with principle loss because they do daily calls (caps it daily), the yieldmax do weekly calls (caps it weekly), and Kurv, or standard CC funds generally have a smoother growth as they do monthly calls. You can also see that the distribution yields are highest on the daily, and lowest on the monthly. If you don't want your principle to disappear, then you have to pick an underlying stock that always goes up or stays the same... good luck! The income return on a perfect fund like this will be really low because there is no risk. Yieldmax or any CC ETF fund makes money with volatility. My suggestion is pick AMD or an stable underlying fund you believe in, and just let the returns come in. Even if your principle drops a bit because of a bad market or earnings, you'll still be ahead on total return (distributions + principle). For myself, right now my AMD is down 7% from my purchase price, but my total return is positive 3% with the distributions. I could sell tomorrow and still be ahead of what I invested. As AMD goes up which I believe it will, then my principle will return and in the meantime distributions keep coming in each month and increasing my total return %. (Not a financial advisor blahblah :))
Impressive discussion with Howard, and it has solidified my decision to switch from the other guys. Your research linking the Simplified and NEOS guys is really impressive. I hold few funds from all three managers
I appreciate the calm, but straight to the point/firm questions and discussion, but not browbeating and trying to get “gotcha”’s. Always such good interviews and I’m learning so much more about investing. I’ve always been skeptical of income ETF’s, but it seems that some have some actual safety! Not full-proof but somewhat of a foundation.
Thanks for your feedback and words of encouragement. Interviewing is harder than it looks but I enjoy it and want to continue to work on getting better at it. Income ETFs aren't for everybody but in some situations, regular cash flow has value, especially when the market is crashing!
Excellent interview !! But man I had ads running during your clip… But totally worth it. I’ll have a closer look at Kurds funds when they’ll have a wrap up ETF !
@@armchairincomechannel Premium is on my wish list also … did it cut all the ads between, before, during and the end of the clips you watched? Meaning no ads AT ALL??
Great interview! Their strategy seems very well thought out with adequate consideration given to mitigating the weaknesses of covered call funds. The hints given at their future products sound great too, I am hoping for something like the Vanguard Wellesley Fund with a bit more juice from covered calls. Something with a focus on downside protection but with income would be great for retirement accounts.
Thanks for another great interview. Something I am curious if you could add to these reviews is how NAV is preserved. You usually talk to it but if there is any way to show that performance it would be a help to me. When I get closer to retirement, I want to invest in some of these funds and a key goal will be to collect dividends but not lose the principal. If funds have a goal such as that and proof over time, I would be willing to invest. Or, if they can give guidance such as with this fund you can collect 10% dividends and reinvest anything over will ensure you preserve the capital. KURV appears to be a fund that is intentional at preserving NAV, so I appreciate that. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for your feedback. There are a lot of moving parts to NAV so its difficult to analyze. You can absolutely lose principal with (almost any fund, including) this fund because if the underlying stock falls in value, so does the fund. I'll take your suggestions into consideration going forward.
Another informative interview! You ask probing questions that help us understand the strategy. I’m not a single stock CC fund investor but I’m always happy to add to my knowledge. Thanks!
Very informative and enjoyable to watch, thank you for sharing! Interesting to learn about the PIMCO connection, they are arguably the gold standard for bond investing.
Glad to see more attention paid to a balance of yield and price appreciation. As a retiree using funds for income some of the NAV erosion funds scare the crap out of me.
Hello, I love your content . I am in the process of selling my business and follow the same path as you. Now after watching this video I think there is a question that you never ask these types of funds that it us an important one. All this covered call etf use T-bills as colateral for the cover call strategy and they add part of the yield from the t-bills to the total return. I want to know when the fed starts cutting interest rates and the t-bill yields start dropping. How will that affect this funds yields. Anyway keep it up man and thanks for the info
It’s a good point. The answer is that yields will come down as inflation comes down. Net purchasing power won’t change much. In other words, the yield relative to inflation is more important than the absolute yield. For KURV specifically, if rates get low enough they will switch from T Bills and synthetic positions, to holding the underlying stock.
Great video. I’m adding these to my portfolio. Have several of the yieldmax as well, think they will work well together. I also own many of these underlying outright for long term holds.
Great content as always! I have generally stayed away from single stock ETFs but shall continue to research some of these considering their objective to keep income consistent.
@@armchairincomechannel I would like your thoughts on the fee. I know Howard mentioned the .99% is standard for something like this but JPM (fair enough has massive pricing power as Garrett mentioned in another video) has JEPI/JEPQ at .35% and even SPYI / QQQI are at .68%, .99% for KURV when you have a single stock ETF seems a bit high as he is not managing a basket of anything but I am learning more about this type of investment and appreciate the input.
another great video and interview, thank you for sharing and bringing important information to dividend investors. Also, reading the comments here by your viewers and your replies are very helpful.
Thanks for the interesting idea! i'm thinking of finding a small place in my investments for one (maybe a couple) of these funds. I'd like to see them come out with a fund of funds too
Superb interview. I have enough exposure to Microsoft/Apple already, and Tesla/Netflix aren't as solid in my opinion.. but I might be interested in adding AMZP to my portfolio.
Thanks for your feedback. I feel like everybody on planet earth with more than $5 invested owns some Apple somewhere! It's early for me but I'll keep an eye on Kurv.
They both focus on option strategies but they're quite different. The KURV team has a background in fixed income and actively manages the treasuries...something we didn't get time to discuss. Also, NEOS is focused on index funds while KURV is focused on individual stock funds. They're 2 completely separate companies with separate teams on opposite sides of the country.
I lost a lot on NAV on 2 well known ETFs on 2021 and have been to afraid to come back into them since, yes the monthly dividend payments where good however the NAV after 6 months destroyed that and much more!
Hi, does kurv ETFs generate K-1 tax document or 1099 brokerage? I think it was mentioned 1099 in the video, wanted to confirm. Can these funds be held in IRA? Was not able to find answer to this on kurv website. Thanks for the content.
Kurv does not issue K-1 forms. Those are generally for master limited partnerships, not ETFs. I can't give tax advice but Kurv's funds are ETFs so they're similar to the thousands of other ETFs.
Wouldn’t you get huge nav decay If the underlying whiplashes. You sell a call at 105(buying shares at 100) $1 premium. it goes down to 90$ within expiry and then you write more calls at 95. Then it goes up to 105 before expiry exercising the calls you sold. Then you write more calls at 110 but you have less capital and write less contracts. Couldn’t a choppy sideways market like in the lost decade (where the s&p moved sideways for 10 years in the 80s) just kill the fund? You’d end up with less and less shares until the fund failed. the underlying being very choppy for long durations is the main downside I see with this fund
Yes, there is potential for NAV decay as discussed in the interview. It depends on the path of the recovery. Calls are written monthly and often sharp declines recover within a month. However, there are recovery paths that would be erosive. A sideways market would actually be good for a covered call fund, if it wasn't too volatile. It would produce income without erosion, while the underlying doesn't make a substantial move. Their back testing doesn't show the fund "failing", but only time will tell. It's too early for me to invest as I'd like to see more data history.
The synthetic position is written quarterly so assuming you wrote an initial synthetic at 100 you have a call at 100 you could exercise at 105. The 100 put you sold could be very cheap to buy back. If the manager is on top of things they have lots of options. ( pun intended)
Is KURV a long term viable ETF provider? Their AUM is quite low at this point. On their website they don't have AUDITED financials yet. I'd like to see that before I commit too much to this new player.
I agree that its quite new. I like what they've done so far, but I want to see more history and trading volume before I buy. I'm also more interested in the fund of funds (in the pipeline) than the individual stock ETFs.
@@armchairincomechannel thanks, what interested me about those ETF i'd like to see how much % are they holding and how much % are they using for calls. ie jepq 80% hold and 20% call.
I've found myself wondering why funds like these don't use something with greater yield as underlying base. If it was SVOL instead of Treasuries, wouldn't that juice the yield at least another 10%. Its not as if they aren't in a Risky business to begin with.
I've invested in 2 NEOS ETFs and am happy with their service so the affiliation is more of a plus than a minus to me. However, the option strategy was created by Kurv and is different from the products offered by NEOS. The reason Kurv uses NEOS is because they can execute the trades at a lower price. As for PIMCO, I regard them as one of the most reputable fund managers in the US and hold several of their funds. I'm sure they have funds that "Underperform" but it would depend on how you define that and which benchmark you use. I wouldn't describe an employment history with Pimco as a "red flag".
0.99% is relatively high but that's what Yieldmax is charging and they're making a fortune. If larger players that don't need to make a profit for a while enter the scene, that number will drop.

KURV seems to be a different version of NEOS... yet the trading is done by NEOS - so is KURV really a separate company or a marketing arm of NEOS
They both focus on option strategies but they're quite different. The KURV team has a background in fixed income and actively manages the treasuries...something we didn't get time to discuss.

Thank you kindly for this interview. I love the Kurv vest! Do they have a swag shop online?
LOL! I haven't seen a merch shop but you may have hit on an untapped revenue stream for them :)
I’d prefer a share or more of their IPO, or a vest, size XL, for making the suggestion. I’m sure Shopify would be an excellent host?
Interesting but I'd be waiting for a combined ETF from them as subgke stock for me is too unsettling.
Yes, there's concentration risk for a single stock ETF.

I agree that its quite new. I like what they've done so far, but I want to see more history and trading volume before I buy. I'm also more interested in the fund of funds (in the pipeline) than the individual stock ETFs.
Whats the best ETF for a beginner.
Nice work ❤🎉😊
Thanks! If you have a long time line...VOO. It's the S&P 500.

I gave QQQi in my wach list
Interesting, Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
should do a review on GPIQ and GPIX i heard both ETF are better than JEPQ and JEPI
Thanks for the suggestion. They're quite new so there isn't much data to review, but I'll take a look.
@@armchairincomechannel thanks, what interested me about those ETF i'd like to see how much % are they holding and how much % are they using for calls. ie jepq 80% hold and 20% call.
Good information ❤
Glad you liked it :)
I've found myself wondering why funds like these don't use something with greater yield as underlying base. If it was SVOL instead of Treasuries, wouldn't that juice the yield at least another 10%. Its not as if they aren't in a Risky business to begin with.
It would boost the yield but the risk would go from high to higher. Some investors might like that.
@@armchairincomechannel notes for when we become fund managers in our next life.
No index ETF ? - or, all encompassing etf?
Not yet, it's new.
Kurv is too closely aligned with NEO gif my taste. Your guest’s history with underperforming PIMCO is a red flag as well.
I've invested in 2 NEOS ETFs and am happy with their service so the affiliation is more of a plus than a minus to me. However, the option strategy was created by Kurv and is different from the products offered by NEOS. The reason Kurv uses NEOS is because they can execute the trades at a lower price. As for PIMCO, I regard them as one of the most reputable fund managers in the US and hold several of their funds. I'm sure they have funds that "Underperform" but it would depend on how you define that and which benchmark you use. I wouldn't describe an employment history with Pimco as a "red flag".
I hope they don't make the funds to have a sinking NAV LIKE some of their competitors.
Me too! I'm keeping an eye on GOOP and so far the NAV is growing.
It's all Rocket Science to me.
If you're not a rocket scientist then that makes this quite difficult...
No one can predict a black swan event. Imagine how many trillionares there would be.... I love kurv etf, but the expense % is too much
But that expense ratio is average - or maybe not. It gives me pause too.
0.99% is relatively high but that's what Yieldmax is charging and they're making a fortune. If larger players that don't need to make a profit for a while enter the scene, that number will drop.
Tesla - terrible long term
I'll just say....I don't hold TSLA.
