PFFA currently yields about 9.6–9.7%, paying roughly $0.17/month—about $2.04/year on a $21.30 share .

Over the next two years, assuming:

• You hold a round 100 shares (~$2,130)

• Monthly payout stays steady at $0.17

You’d receive:

• Year 1: 100 × $0.17 × 12 = $204 (~9.6%)

• Year 2: same again, totaling $408 over two years = ~19.2%

Note: Returns fluctuate slightly based on share price and slight dividend drifts (it hovered near $0.168–0.17/month recently) .

📈 Covered-Call Option Strategy

Selling covered calls on ETFs like PFFA lets you earn premiums but caps upside gains.

Example framework:

1. Own 100 PFFA shares at $21.30

2. Sell one 1-month out‑of‑the‑money (OTM) call, strike $22.00, expiring ~1 month ahead.

• Let’s assume the premium is ~$0.30 (for estimation).

Monthly income:

• Option premium (sold): $0.30

Total monthly potential:

• Dividend $0.17 + Premium $0.30 = $0.47 per share

Annualized:

• $0.47 × 12 = $5.64/year, or 26.5% on capital ($21.30) before considering share appreciation.

Cap and risk:

• If PFFA stays below $22 by expiration, you keep both dividend and premium, and repeat.

• If it rises above $22, your shares get called (sold) at $22.

• You’d pocket: $22 - $21.30 + $0.30 = $1.00 gain ≈ 4.7% profit + the dividends collected to that point.

• After assignment, you no longer hold the shares but keep all income.

Two-Year Projections:

Scenario A: No assignment (PFFA stays ≤ $22):

• Income/year: $5.64 × 100 shares = $564

• Two-year: $1,128 ≈ 53% total return, in addition to price changes.

Scenario B: Assigned in Year 1 (called at $22):

• Year 1: Premium + dividend + gain = ~$0.30 + 0.17 + 0.70 = $1.17 per share = 5.5%

• Year 2: You’d need to rebuy shares and restart covered calls—total may vary.

Even with cautious assumptions, covered calls can boost income from ~9.6% to ~25–30% annually—but be aware this gives up upside beyond strike.
