Products and Services
- Actively Managed Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF)
This product provides investors with a proactive approach to income generation, by directly and indirectly investing in select U.S. listed securities. The fund's active management aims to capitalize on market opportunities and mitigate risks associated with market volatility.
- Income Generation through Covered Call Strategies
The fund employs a combination of traditional and synthetic covered call strategies designed to produce higher levels of income. These strategies are most effective in volatile market environments, as they involve selling call options on securities owned within the fund, thereby generating income from the option premiums.
- Limit on Potential Investment Gains
To balance the focus on income generation with risk management, the fund introduces a cap on potential investment gains. This approach seeks to moderate the risk-return profile for investors, ensuring that while the pursuit of income is aggressive, there is a safeguard against excessive speculative exposure.
- Non-Diversified Fund Structure
The non-diversified status of the fund allows for a concentrated investment strategy, focusing on a limited number of securities that are believed to offer the best potential for income generation. This concentration can lead to higher yield opportunities but also comes with an increased level of risk compared to more diversified funds.
