Full fund details
- Objective
- Seeks to provide monthly income.
- Strategy
- Actively managed ETF investing primarily in U.S. Government securities for interest income and employing an income generating option spread strategy on equity ETFs and indexes. Targets monthly distributions at an annualized rate of 15%, but this goal is aspirational and not guaranteed. The Fund's option strategy includes writing put options on major equity market sectors, focusing on large-cap, domestic, international, and small-cap stocks, using a proprietary selection process to achieve the target return.

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