The Perfect Storm: Si Katara on Daily Overlays, Volatility, and the Future of Income ETFs

In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down once again with Si Katara, Founder and CEO of TappAlpha, to dive deeper into how daily option overlays are redefining the balance between growth, income, and risk management.

Since our last conversation, markets have shifted fast. AI valuations have cooled, volatility has returned, and investors are rethinking how to generate income without sacrificing upside. Si shares how TappAlpha’s TSPY and TDAQ ETFs are thriving in this environment, giving advisors and investors precision, flexibility, and true control over their equity exposure.

In this episode:
– Why volatility-based income is replacing bond-based income as rates fall
– How daily options overlays outperform traditional 30-day strategies
– The “pilot course correction” analogy that defines TappAlpha’s edge
– What makes TSPY and TDAQ fundamentally different from other covered call ETFs
– How TappAlpha is scaling to new products, including light-levered and weekly-pay ETFs
