Covered call funds can offer inflation-adjusted income, but TSLY's strategy with Tesla is risky. TSLY has negative total returns since inception due to Tesla's volatility and options strategy. TSLY's unpredictable monthly payouts and significant net asset value decline make it a poor choice for most investors.

YieldMax TSLA Option Income Strategy ETF has a dividend yield of 100% but has a negative total return and is not recommended for long-term investors. TSLY uses a combination of put writing, call buying, and call writing to create a position in Tesla, limiting its income potential to only one security. TSLY's active management has not been effective, and investors would have been better off buying Tesla shares and writing calls themselves.
