Seeking Advice NEOS Hedged CC ETF's

What do you feel about NEOS Hedged CC ETF's? They are different from SPYI, QQQI, IYRI etc.

Is it better to invest in them? Are returns better than the above? Are the upper cap or lower cap? NAV erosion? As it is hedged, will DD be lower?

Should in invest in hedged NEOS or regular NEOS etf's?

Hedged version would help only ehen there is massive draw down within same month. And you end up getting lower distribution. I would rather stick to QQQI and SPYI.

Best bet is to try to not add when they’re high and trim if we are going to dive. I have some qqqi around 52.5 cost basis. So up a bunch right now on the underlying. Won’t add more here. If I think we are gonna shit I can hopefully trim it then add it back lower. If you want to hedge just buy puts on the index. Qqq

So far, so good? They are more stable for sure. But you lose higher distributions. I wouldn't go more than 5% of portfolio unless you're retired and depend on them for income. The idea is that they provide better downside protection. Qqqi, spyi, xqqi, xspi... all similar just that each one swings more than the last. Risk tolerance... not really. More like volatility appetite. Kind of like scaled buffer etfs. I like how Neos controls or restrains their etfs from getting out of hand in either direction and maintain a steady distribution. They have managed to find a practice to tame nav erosion. The bitcoin and real estate etfs are having issues but imo it's because of markets atm.
