I’ve been tracking a group of Nasdaq-100 ETFs and income-oriented Nasdaq-100 funds in one report view. This snapshot is not meant to rank which fund is best. It is mainly a side-by-side check of dividend TTM, price trend, erosion, stability, and prior monthly snapshots.
The group includes broad Nasdaq-100 exposure, leveraged Nasdaq-100 products, covered-call income ETFs, and newer income-focused structures. Because the strategies are different, I would not treat this as a strict apples-to-apples ranking.

A few things stood out in this snapshot:
QDTE and QDTY show much higher Dividend TTM than the broad Nasdaq-100 ETFs, but both also show negative price CAGR and erosion marked YES. That is the type of profile where headline income needs to be checked against price behavior.
JEPQ and QQQI sit closer to the income ETF side, with higher Dividend TTM than QQQ or QQQM, but much lower price growth than the broad index exposure.
QQQ and QQQM look very similar from a price-growth perspective, with low Dividend TTM and stronger capital-growth behavior.
QLD and TQQQ show stronger price CAGR because of leveraged exposure, but they serve a very different role from income ETFs and should not be interpreted the same way.
SQQQ is structurally different from the rest of the group. Its negative price CAGR and erosion flag are not surprising given its inverse leveraged design.
Main takeaway: Nasdaq-100 related funds can look similar by theme, but the actual behavior is very different depending on whether the fund is built for index exposure, leverage, inverse exposure, or income generation.
