The new Janus Henderson Equity Linked High Income and Moderate Income ETFs debuted on April 22, targeting yields of 11–14% and 7–9% respectively.
These ETFs invest in autocallable structured notes, previously limited to institutional investors, providing high income and some downside protection but with equity-like risk profiles.
Calamos, TrueMark, GraniteShares, and Innovator have also launched similar products, with Calamos’s flagship ETF yielding about 14%. Investors are advised to conduct thorough due diligence due to product complexity.
