A 16% yield doesn't come without risk, but this one just proved it's a little less risky. The Simplify Volatility Premium ETF (SVOL) was at risk on August 5th when the market took a dive. This SVOL update looks at what happened to SVOL and 2 of its competitors on that day, and why it didn't suffer the catastrophic losses that VIX inverse ETFs are exposed to. If you like high yield dividend investing, I hope you enjoy this SVOL ETF update. ➡️ Join Armchair Insider to receive my Portfolio (it's free): https://armchairinsider.beehiiv.com/subscribe ✏️ LINKS FROM TODAY'S EPISODE: ➡️ My Favorite Dividend Tracker, Snowball: (Create a Free Account, and the 10% Discount will appear under "Subscribe"): https://armchairincome.link/snow ➡️ #1 Research Tool: Seeking Alpha ($30 Coupon +Free Trial): https://armchairincome.link/SeekingAlpha Breakdown of SVOL’s Holdings by John Bowman: https://armchairincome.link/SVOLupdate SVOL Risk and Term Structure Video: https://youtu.be/yABjeBbu-TE VIX Term Structure (Official): https://www.cboe.com/tradable_products/vix/term_structure/ VIX Term Structure (User friendly): http://vixcentral.com/ ======================================= 📈EDUCATION: The Guide To Investing In Preferred Shares (free): https://www.thereitforum.com/p/the-67-page-guide-to-investing-in Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 00:38 SVOL distributions 01:53 What is SVOL?
