Cov ered call funds rarely do better than the index they follow. the covered call process converts growth to income and some money is lost to fees and expenes. QQQ mainly produces growth not income. QQQI converts the growth inocme and pays that out as a divided. So the total …

With dividned you get money without selling shares of stock. In fact you get the money by doing absolutely nthing .

It depends on how it is done. Some funds do it in a way that does allow the price to go up. If it is done with covered calls the NAV was still go up but some the gowth of ther underlying asset may be greater than the growth in the covered call fund.
