Selling shares in retirement hands the market control over your income, but three ETFs built on options premiums and leveraged preferred stock flip that equation entirely, and not all of them work the same way in a taxable account.

NEOS ETFs offer high-yield, monthly income across diverse asset classes, avoiding large-cap tech exposure and enhancing portfolio diversification. Goldman Sachs' planned $2.25B acquisition of NEOS underscores the platform's rapid growth and innovation in options-based income ETFs. Five NEOS funds—NIHI, MLPI, IYRI, IWMI, and IAUI—provide yields from 9.7% to 14.5%, with strategies tailored to international, MLP, real estate, small cap, and gold assets.

I rate NEOS Russell 2000 High-Income ETF a BUY, targeting an 8%–12% total return over the next 6–12 months. IWMI's 13% trailing yield is compelling because it preserves meaningful Russell 2000 upside, with lower volatility than peers like ITWO and RDTE. The fund's flexible option strategy enables strong income generation without excessive sacrifice of total return, especially in more volatile or sideways small-cap markets.

Small caps are finally outrunning the S&P 500, but IWM holders are leaving something significant on the table. Two overlooked alternatives have quietly delivered both stronger returns and a 14% income stream from the same rally.
