Income ETFs that write options on SPY
131 option-income ETFs write on SPY, which is an index, through a fund that tracks it. They are measured against it and against each other, never against a fund writing on something else. Over the last year 6 of the 71 with a full year finished ahead of SPY once the cash is counted in.
70 of the 131 income ETFs that write on SPY, how many finished ahead of the index or stock they write options on, as of Sep 11, 2026. The rest are in the table below: 1 write options on a single company rather than an index and are not measured against the same thing, and 60 have no figure for this window yet.
