Why this is held
NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income. Sister fund to SPYI, same NEOS covered-call structure but on the Nasdaq-100. In the portfolio for the same reason: manager diversification away from JEPI/JEPQ. Excellent funds, but together they had become the dominant management voice in the shell, and a covered-call strategy is partly a bet on the manager's discipline as much as on the underlying — worth running a second manager in parallel to compare.
Position metrics
YES (Yield Efficiency Score) combines yield, NAV trend, and stability — above 0.5 is generally favorable. NAV decay is the value-weighted annualized drift in price.
