Foolish Take B&D White Capital’s full exit from the Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF seemingly signals a decisive shift away from high-yield, options-based equity strategies that dominated flows in early 2025. The move came alongside a similar liquidation of its stake in GPIX, Goldman’s S&P 500 Premium Income ETF, suggesting a broader pullback from covered-call funds after strong short-term gains. Coyle’s disciplined, evidence-based philosophy emphasizes market efficiency and long-term diversification, discouraging market timing or yield chasing. Given GPIQ’s 9.6% trailing distribution rate, the exit likely reflects portfolio rebalancing rather than a bearish view on the ETF itself. GPIQ remains a relatively new fund—launched in October 2023—with assets nearing $1.9 billion and exposure to top Nasdaq names like NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Apple. For long-term investors, the shift highlights a key takeaway from Coyle’s playbook: favoring steady global diversification and avoiding overreliance on income-driven products that may lag in rising markets.
