[0]
hey guys welcome back to the channel today i have one
[6]
that i'm excited about it's fairly new but then again it's not new what am i
[14]
talking about stick around and let's find out
[18]
so you know i'm always about those uh monthly payers those high yielders
[28]
this one is no exception but it's new so it's kind of like one of those where
[36]
you want to probably want to put it on the back burner for a
[39]
minute just to see how it works
[44]
you see what i'm saying it um
[47]
being brand new you don't especially with an income fund
[55]
you want a little bit of a history right you at least want to see that it's going
[60]
to be consistent with what it plans to do
[64]
um with that being said if you're new here please give me a like
[70]
share subscribe if you haven't checked out my other
[74]
videos i got a bunch of videos on etfs and funds that
[79]
provide current income high yield current income
[83]
i try not to
[88]
push high dangerous high yield
[93]
but you know there's a big difference between being an income investor and a
[97]
dividend investor and if you're looking for income
[103]
you have to be very careful with the funds that you go after
[107]
right so we're gonna we're gonna go over this a little bit today
[113]
and you know there's not a lot of history here so i'm just gonna give you
[117]
an overview and uh put it on your
[121]
watch list and i'll do some reviews and updates
[124]
as the months go by and and income gets paid out on this thing okay
[130]
so what are we looking at we are looking at the jp morgan chase
[136]
j e p i equity premium income etf
[144]
jepi and we're just going to go over and look at if you look at this 30 day
[150]
yield
[153]
you're looking at 11.85 percent
[159]
11.85 so let's go over the overview here generates income through a combination
[165]
of selling options and investing in u.s
[168]
large cap stocks seeking to deliver a monthly income
[172]
income stream from associated option premiums and
[177]
stock dividends so it constructs a diversified
[183]
low volatility
[198]
and it also seeks to deliver a significant portion of the returns
[202]
associated with the s p 500 index with less volatility in addition to
[209]
monthly income we'll go down and look at here the
[215]
portfolio managers we have hamilton reiner we click on his name was it going
[220]
to give me anything it will 11 years with jp morgan 33 years
[225]
in the industry he has been managing u.s equities and
[230]
u.s derivatives since 1987 at firms such as barclays
[236]
capital lehman brothers and
[240]
deutsche bank he started his career at the options
[244]
investing firm o'connor and associates where he developed his passion for
[249]
derivatives investing hamilton obtained a bse in finance from
[254]
the wharton school of the university of pennsylvania
[261]
who's the other guy raphael zingone see if we get some info on rafael here
[268]
he's a cfa head of the u.s structured equity group
[272]
an employee since 1991 ralph is responsible for the management of a
[277]
range of large-cap structured equity portfolios
[282]
so he was a reach research analyst following the aerospace environmental
[286]
and diversified manufacturing sectors upon
[289]
joining the firm he was a quantitative equity analyst
[292]
and later served as a u.s equity portfolio manager
[296]
in london and new york 29 years with jp morgan 29 years
[301]
in the industry that's a good sign now so if you look at it hamilton runs
[308]
the options place and raphael assembles the portfolio
[318]
so even though you know this fund is relatively new they don't have new
[324]
people running it so that's a good thing so
[329]
the fund inception date may 20th 2020
[335]
currently has a net asset value of 50.84 as of july 9th
[343]
and did i gloss over the expense ratio it has 105
[347]
holdings let's see where is it at there it is has a very respectable
[354]
0.35 expense ratio that's really respectable for an
[360]
actively managed etf it really is
[368]
see what else we got here this is the price
[371]
fluctuations since inception of may 20th so it had an inception price of 50
[380]
and it fluctuated quite a bit here but i mean this chart looks funny but it's
[385]
really not that big of a deal because it went from 50 to
[389]
51.44 back down to 50 dollars and 13 cents uh back death so it's low was
[397]
you know 49.71 and its high was 50 51.32
[403]
so not very much movement but we don't have a whole lot
[408]
of history here
[412]
that's what i just went over
[417]
performance and fees so performance of one month uh
[422]
market price you're down point four nine percent
[427]
that's that's pretty much all you got so since inception
[431]
uh one point five four percent but that's you know you're only talking
[437]
what is that six or seven weeks maybe eight weeks
[444]
and it has paid one dividend already and it was x date was
[448]
july 1st it's going to pay i paid a couple days ago on july
[453]
7th and it paid 49.408 cents per share at uh what
[461]
at the 50 price basically so pretty much a ten percent you know
[468]
no sorry one percent that would make it a twelve percent roughly uh
[474]
annual yield
[477]
now when i said this fund was relatively new
[481]
um this fund actually existed prior to the etf but it existed as a
[488]
mutual fund and i found it it was under
[494]
j-e-p-i-x but there isn't a whole lot of information about it
[500]
the one uh piece of information the couple pieces of information was
[504]
it had a 1.13 expense ratio they had a waiver of
[511]
expenses to bring it down to 0.6 there was a 50 49.95 transaction fee to
[518]
even buy into it and it had a minimum to invest of 1
[523]
million dollars so that pretty much counts all of us out
[529]
for the most part i'm sure there's a couple of us out here that
[533]
probably afford that but the everyday joe yeah
[537]
we wouldn't have access to this so jp morgan decided to make this into an etf
[542]
and i think i think this can gain traction
[546]
but like i said i wouldn't uh jump right into it i want to see some
[551]
performance um i don't is it with it being options
[556]
based this price isn't going to run away from
[558]
you um it's an income fund so there will be
[563]
some growth here because they're not uh they're not selling their
[568]
their they're not selling in the money cover
[572]
calls they're trying to uh have growth and income
[580]
so if we look at the portfolio of j-e-p-i that's just a funny name jeffy
[587]
take a look at jeffy here is actively managed and if we look
[593]
we have uh 76 percent in north america so 70
[601]
it doesn't show the whole hundred where's everything else
[604]
oh i see what they're doing so it's 76 percent
[608]
united states under two percent uk one and a half in ireland under one in
[613]
germany
[616]
the top 10 represents 32 percent of the portfolio
[621]
and here's why it's uh 19.49 in cash so that this is probably going
[628]
to be
[631]
uh a common thing with this etf um because when you sell call options
[637]
or any sort of options when you sell them
[640]
you collect the money in cash so it's gonna have a cash
[644]
position that will you know most likely be paid out
[649]
to you as a shareholder but what are the what is the stock
[654]
portfolio so it's got amazon microsoft accenture abv
[660]
apple eli lilly alphabet honeywell pepsi as the top 10.
[667]
pretty strong companies at the top 10. 74.2 six percent in large cap
[676]
uh nineteen point four nine percent and other that is the cash
[680]
position five percent mid cap one point two percent and small cap
[688]
and the morningstar style map has this as a large cap blend
[694]
so we'll see down here uh the sector exposure you have information technology
[699]
at just under 13 health care at just under 12
[703]
consumer staples at just under 12. financials just a little bit above nine
[709]
industrials about eight and a half consumer discretionary a little over
[714]
seven communications a little over seven utilities about six and a half materials
[721]
at about two and a half real estate about two percent
[724]
and about uh two-thirds of a percent in energy
[731]
so like i've said before i'm going to repeat it
[735]
i'm probably tired of me and repeating myself i am going to stay on the
[739]
sideline on this one for a little bit i'm going to watch it for the next
[744]
couple of payments and see how well it does and how
[749]
good they are at producing income and i will do some update videos
[754]
on jeppy and see how it goes so uh i'd say put this one on your watch
[760]
list if you're an income investor uh it looks promising
[766]
almost a 12 yield high quality companies uh good management and a low expense
[774]
ratio for an actively managed etf this could be a winner if you like this
