The fund's management strives to achieve its investment objectives by employing a specific call option strategy. This strategy is built upon holding a long position in QQQ, an investment trust engineered to replicate the performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index, concurrently with establishing short positions in select call options. It is important to note that the fund maintains a non-diversified portfolio.

A covered call ETF paying a 17% annual distribution should be quietly destroying its own NAV, yet this Nasdaq-focused fund keeps defying that logic in a way that forces a closer look at how it actually works.

TappAlpha Innovation 100 Growth & Daily Income ETF offers a compelling 17.6% yield via daily call options on the NASDAQ-100, targeting income amid volatility. TDAQ's aggressive growth exposure through QQQM and daily 0DTE options has delivered superior total returns versus GPIQ and QQQI over the past year. The fund's higher expense ratio (0.83%) is justified by its stronger income and capital preservation compared to regular equity selling or lower-fee peers.

SEATTLE, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TappAlpha today announced that the TappAlpha Innovation 100 Growth & Daily Income ETF (Cboe: TDAQ) completed its first year of trading with $330 million in assets under management.

TappAlpha Innovation 100 Growth & Daily Income ETF (TDAQ) is rated BUY, offering a 13%+ yield while closely tracking the Nasdaq-100's upside. TDAQ's daily out-of-the-money call strategy has limited upside giveback to just 1.6 percentage points over six months, validating the income-for-upside trade-off. I expect an 8% to 12% total return over the next 6–12 months if large-cap growth earnings remain healthy and the Nasdaq's pace moderates.
