HYLB is a simple, cheap high-yield corporate bond ETF. It compares unfavorably to its high-yield peers, with a slightly below-average 6.5% yield, consistent underperformance. Although these disadvantages are small, there are fewer advantages. On net, the fund compares unfavorably to peers.

Option overlay funds (mostly covered call ETFs) play a critical role in my income-oriented portfolio. Through these vehicles I can enhance my overall portfolio yield and obtain exposure to asset classes that tend to be underrepresented in income portfolios. In this context, NEOS Investments vehicles are my favorites.
