Method
Yield here is cash paid: every distribution over the year, as a percent of the price at the start of it. It is not a return, and the price change sits beside it. These 243 funds are every option income ETF with a year of distributions, broad and single-stock together; the few that write none are on the all income list.
The rest of the method
The Broad and Single-stock views rank each half on its own. The list sorts one published figure, with no scoring or weighting. Every fund ETFIQ covers in this category is eligible, closed funds included.
ETFIQ links to the documents behind every figure; a link is not an endorsement. A ranking is not a recommendation or an opinion.
