2024 Q4 and Annual Report

This is a few years old but worth reading for a look at options vs not  https://www.cboe.com/insights/posts/benchmark-indices-series-income-generation-and-smoother-returns-with-cboes-bxm-bxmd-put-and-cmbo-indices/

 

basically the cboe has several auto options writing indices and they were analyzed vs the SP500.  The SP beats them all in total return, but there are 3 that beat it for risk adjusted returns, and one that gets pretty close on total returns as well.  (the 30 delta call write).  In theory that means you could leverage them and get better returns than the sp500 but that's not examined by the study.
