Our take

Structural notes on how this fund behaves. Read our guide on the 6 warning signs.

Covered call
Warning

The big yield isn't extra money

The headline distribution comes from selling call options, which caps the fund's upside. Across a full market cycle that trade costs more than it brings in — often 1 to 3 percentage points a year against just holding the index. Monthly payouts make the gap easy to miss on a return summary.
