It sells call options on a portion of its equity and gold holdings.
Syfe launched Income+ Max in collaboration with J.P. Morgan Asset Management and two other ETF managers.
Income+ Max allocates on equities (55%), fixed income (35%), and gold (10%). Each earns income differently: coupons from bond allocation, dividends from large caps, and option premiums written on the tech, small cap, and gold exposures, Syfe said.
It targets a payout of 8% to 10%, the Singapore-headquartered digital wealth platform said on an announcement on 12 October 2026.
Income+ Max sells call options on a portion of its equity and gold holdings and collects the premium as income.
Syfe said that Income+ Max addresses record-low dividend yields and extreme equity concentration, as well as volatility.
“It earns income from market volatility itself: we write options on quality equities and gold, collect the premium and pay it out,” said Ritesh Ganeriwal, group head of investment and advisory at Syfe.
Ganeriwal said that gold helps cushion the portfolio when markets turn, and fees are in line with passive index funds.
The launch expands Syfe’s cash-income range, which include bond-focused Income+ Preserve and Income+ Enhance.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW
Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.
Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.
We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.
If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
