J.P. Morgan’s Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI) Description

JEPI is an actively managed ETF popular with dividend investors and retirees looking to earn yields above total market ETFs such as VTI and popular dividend ETFs.

The fund aims to seek current dividend income while maintaining the prospects for price appreciation.

JEPI is a covered call ETF. The fund holds undervalued stocks in its benchmark index. Managers sell covered calls (a basic and low-risk option strategy) against the benchmark index to generate income for investors via equity-linked notes (ELNs).

Fund managers use the proceeds from selling covered calls to pay dividends to investors.

The fund seeks to provide the majority of the returns associated with its primary benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Total Return Index (S&P 500 Index), while exposing investors to less risk through lower volatility and still offering incremental income. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities. It may also invest in other equity securities not included in the S&P 500 Index.

JEPI Dividend – Conclusion

JEPI is a popular investment for dividend-seeking investors and retirees looking for higher yields (9%+) that total market funds, standard index funds, and dividend-focused ETFs cannot match.

The fund holds stocks in the S&P 500 Index and sells covered calls to generate monthly dividend payments to investors. 

JEPI is a moderate-risk investment because the hybrid strategy deployed in the ETF is untested in a volatile market.

Significant downside volatility could impact the JEPI dividend yield and returns. 

However, we consider the JEPI to be a lower-risk investment compared to its counterpart, JEPQ, which deploys the same strategy with higher concentration risk within the Nasdaq-100 Index.
