What is the CRADY Score?
The CRADY Score is a 0-100 rating that combines recent price volatility, maximum drawdown, and how consistent an ETF's per-payment dividend amount has been. A high yield alone doesn't raise the score — high volatility or irregular dividends lower it by design.
Why do covered-call ETFs like MDTE carry more risk than a typical dividend stock?
Covered-call ETFs like MDTE generate income by selling call options against their holdings, which caps upside participation and can mean distributions include return of capital. That income-generation approach is why they typically show higher volatility scores than traditional dividend-paying stocks.
