The Global X Russell 2000 Covered Call ETF (RYLD) has underperformed its uncapped peers by nearly 8% this year due to shrinking call premiums and capped upside potential. Over five years, the IWM gained 35%, while RYLD returned only 18%. The fund's strategy of writing covered calls generates a double-digit yield but limits capital appreciation.
