About this ETF
The Main BuyWrite Fund seeks to deliver attractive risk-adjusted total returns relative to its peers in the Morningstar Option Writing Category. It accomplishes this by building a portfolio of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) that are selected through a fundamental "reversion to the mean" analysis. Furthermore, the fund implements a covered call writing (selling) strategy to help mitigate overall market volatility.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
