Objective
Seeks investment results that generally correspond to the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury 20+ Year 12% Premium Covered Call 2.0 Index, before fees and expenses.
Strategy
Passively tracks a Bloomberg index that holds the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) — long-dated U.S. Treasuries — overlaid with weekly at-the-money written call options on TLT, sized to target a 12% annualized option premium. The Fund invests at least 80% of net assets in securities representative of the Index and writes FLEX Options weekly, distributing TLT income plus option premium on a monthly basis.

Our take

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

Covered call
Warning

Covered call ETF — yield ≠ total return

The high distribution yield is not free income — it comes from selling upside via call options. Research finds these strategies systematically underperform their underlying index over full cycles, typically by 100–300 basis points per year depending on the option-overlay design. The monthly distributions make the shortfall hard to see in return summaries.
