Linas Toleikis/iStock via Getty Images Overview There are a ton of option ETFs available to investors, and I believe this makes this the best time in modern history to be an income investor. FT Vest Technology Dividend Target Income ETF ( TDVI ) stands out amongst the crowd by implementing a strategy that allows it to experience capital appreciation and provide monthly income for shareholders. When I previously covered TDVI, I issued a strong buy rating because of its ability to participate in the expansion of AI. Following the market's recent rally, I thought it would be a good time to reassess the fund's value proposition and outlook. Looking at the performance over the last twelve months, we can see that TDVI's share price has rapidly increased by more than 38.4%. Most of this upside is being driven by the relief rally over the last month. When including all distributions paid out to shareholders, the total return jumps up to 52.6% over the same time frame. One of the main appeals of TDVI is the high starting dividend yield of about 6.4%, while providing exposure to some of the highest quality technology companies in the world. Furthermore, TDVI has done a great job at issuing tax-efficient distributions over time. Data by YCharts TDVI has also outperformed some peer option ETFs out there because of its more concentrated focus on the technology sector. While its focused approach can yield larger returns if the expansion of the AI market continues, it also amplifies the overall risk profile for investors. The momentum of AI can be directly impacted by market sentiment, which shifts quickly and irrationally at times. Following this run-up, I anticipate that the technology sector will be a lot more reactive if the hyperscalers cannot keep up with strong earnings growth. So let's review the fund and assess its overall value proposition. Fund Strategy According to the latest fund overview , TDVI now has total net assets of $524.9M that are spread across 95 different p...
