Infrastructure Capital Debuts QVOL ETF to Target Nasdaq Income

Infrastructure Capital Advisors on May 12 launched the Infrastructure Capital Nasdaq Option Income ETF, ticker QVOL. The actively managed fund seeks monthly income by buying and writing call and put options on stocks that provide exposure to the Nasdaq Composite. The fund carries a net expense ratio of 82 basis points.

QVOL holds equities and option contracts tied to the Nasdaq Composite Index for exposure but does not track or replicate the index. Managers aim to generate option premiums as a source of monthly distributions while retaining potential for long-term capital appreciation through Nasdaq exposure.

The investment team follows a top-down process that weighs global macroeconomic conditions alongside quantitative, qualitative and relative valuation factors when selecting positions and option overlays. The strategy is actively managed and not bound to an index rule set.

“In the current market environment, investors are seeking consistent income without giving up exposure to growth, particularly in the information technology sector,” Jay Hatfield, CEO and CIO of Infrastructure Capital Advisors, noted. Hatfield described QVOL as designed to monetize increased volatility among Nasdaq-listed companies through active options strategies while following the firm’s approach to portfolio and product construction.

Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, noted demand for alternative equity income ETFs has accelerated in 2026 as dividend yields remain low and that QVOL expands Infrastructure Capital’s product lineup.

QVOL is available to investors and emphasizes monthly distributions generated from options premiums. Infrastructure Capital cited one of its existing funds, the Infrastructure Capital Equity Income ETF (ICAP), with a 30-day SEC yield of 3.67% as of May 11, 2026, and reported that ICAP’s net asset value rose 9.99% for the month ending April 30, 2026.
