  Mortgage REITs can offer attractive income, but how do they actually work—and what risks should income investors understand?I’m joined by Smriti Popenoe, Co-CEO and President of Dynex Capital (Ticker: DX) to take a deep dive into mortgage REIT investing and how Dynex approaches the market.Dynex Capital is a mortgage REIT focused primarily on Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which have different characteristics and risks than the properties owned by traditional equity REITs.In this interview, we cover:• How mortgage REITs work and how they differ from equity REITs• Why Agency MBS can be attractive from a risk-adjusted return perspective• Mortgage rates around 7%—and whether higher rates are necessarily bad for mortgage REITs• Why investors should think differently about Dynex compared with the mortgage REIT stress we've seen in past cycles• Where Dynex is finding the best opportunities in today's market• How Dynex uses leverage and why it matters to investors• How the company thinks about its monthly dividend and dividend sustainability• Dynex vs. bonds, dividend stocks, equity REITs and other mortgage REITs• What gives management confidence in Dynex's opportunity over the next three to five yearsFor income investors, mortgage REITs can be an intriguing part of a portfolio, but the headline yield is only part of the story.

  Blue-Chip Income: Everything You Need to Know About the DJIA ETF

  Sep 28, 202619 min

  What if you could own the 30 companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and use a covered-call strategy to potentially generate additional income?That’s the idea behind the Global X DJIA Covered Call ETF (DJIA).In this interview, I’m joined by Chandler Nichols and Pedro Palandrani from Global X to break down how DJIA works, why Global X chose the Dow as the underlying portfolio, and how the covered-call strategy can potentially turn blue-chip exposure into an income-generating investment.We discuss:• Why use the Dow Jones Industrial Average as the underlying index• How DJIA differs from other covered-call ETFs• The advantages and risks of concentrating on just 30 companies• How the fund combines dividend income and options premium• How the covered-call strategy works, including option selection and the percentage of the portfolio overwritten• How investors should think about income vs. upside potential• What happens to DJIA in strong bull markets, sideways markets and downturns• The fund’s distribution and tax considerations• How DJIA fits into the broader Global X lineup of covered-call ETFs• Who may want to consider DJIA as part of an income-focused portfolioOne of the biggest questions with any covered-call ETF is the tradeoff: How much income are you generating, and how much upside are you potentially giving up in exchange for it?We dig into that question and what investors should understand before adding DJIA to an income portfolio.If you're looking for blue-chip exposure combined with an options-income strategy, this is a conversation worth watching.

  NIHI One Year Later: What Income Investors Need to Know About The NEOS International High Income ETF

  Sep 23, 202620 min

  What can one year of real-world results tell us about a high-income ETF?NIHI, the NEOS MSCI EAFE High Income ETF, has now been operating for one year, giving income investors a chance to look beyond the backtest and see how the strategy has actually performed.To break down NIHI’s first year, I’m joined by Troy Cates from NEOS Investments to discuss the strategy, international diversification, total returns, distributions, taxes, risk, and what investors can learn from the ETF’s first year in the real world.In this interview, we cover:• The original investment thesis behind NIHI and the problem it was designed to solve for income investors• Why international exposure can be an important part of an income portfolio• How Troy would characterize NIHI’s first year and what surprised him• Distribution yield vs. actual economic return and why income investors need to understand the difference• NIHI’s first-year total return and the benchmarks investors should use for comparison• What NIHI’s distributions looked like from a tax perspective• What the first year revealed about volatility, drawdowns and risk that backtesting couldn't fully capture• The biggest opportunities and risks heading into NIHI’s second yearOne of the biggest lessons for income investors is that a high distribution doesn't automatically equal a high total return. After one year of live results, we can start to examine how NIHI’s income strategy has actually translated into returns, distributions, risk, and taxes.If you own NIHI, are considering international income exposure, or simply want to better understand how to evaluate high-income ETFs after they launch, this conversation should give you plenty to think about.
