Income Assets — 2025

O, JEPI, JEPQ — dividend & option-income ETFs.

Note: Personal recordkeeping only. Not investment advice. Not audited. Options involve substantial risk and may not be suitable for all investors.

Overview

This category was initially influenced by income-focused investing ideas (including Steve Bavaria’s Income Factory concept and discussions on the Armchair Income channel). Over time, I adapted the approach to fit a more conservative, capital-aware framework that better matches my risk tolerance and overall trading activity.

On this page, income from dividends and option-related distributions is reported separately from year-over-year capital change (mark-to-market). Both are tracked explicitly.

Income yield reflects cash distributions received during 2025 relative to starting capital. Capital gain/loss reflects year-over-year mark-to-market price change. Figures are not annualized beyond the period shown.
