IGLD: Gold Participation With An Attractive Yield
The FT Cboe Vest Gold Strategy Target Income ETF aims to provide participation in the returns of holding SPDR Gold Trust while generating current income from writing call options. IGLD has performed as expected, capturing ~69% of GLD's upside since June 2023 while paying a 7.8% yield. With the Fed expected to begin cutting rates in September, I believe IGLD could be an interesting way for yield-oriented investors to participate in the upcoming gold rally.

IGLD: Just Own Gold Outright Instead
FT Vest Gold Strategy Target Income ETF aims to generate income that exceeds yields on short-term US Treasury securities while providing exposure to gold returns. The ETF invests in a basket of short-term US Treasury securities and cash equivalents, as well as a subsidiary that holds options referencing the performance of SPDR Gold Trust. While the income-generating strategy may be attractive, the ETF underperforms compared to owning gold directly due to the use of options and derivatives.
