JEPI Dominates Covered-Call Space
JEPI has dominated the covered-call income space for years but a younger Goldman Sachs rival has been quietly outpacing it on both total return and monthly payment consistency.
GPIX Pays More in October
On an identical $100,000 position, GPIX paid $707.45 in October compared with JEPI's $602.54.
GPIX Outperforms JEPI Year-Over-Year
Over the past year, GPIX returned 17.4% against JEPI's 7.9%, a gap of 9.5 points.
GPIX Leads on All Timeframes
GPIX leads JEPI across year-to-date, monthly, and one-year returns windows with a consistent lead.
October 28 Fed Meeting Impact
The FOMC begins a two-day meeting on October 27, 2026, and releases its decision on October 28 at 2:00 PM ET.
Fed Rate Decisions Affect Both Funds
A rate increase would let Treasury bills and money market funds pay more, which makes them stronger competition for equity income funds.
GPIX's Short Record Weakness
GPIX's price history begins October 26, 2023, with no five-year or ten-year record compared to JEPI's longer track record.
In short
Goldman Sachs' S&P 500 Premium Income ETF (GPIX) outperformed JEPI in monthly payments and returns over the past year, month, and day.
