About this ETF
This index aims to replicate the returns of a "covered call" investment strategy applied to the shares of the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD). Its value reflects the price movements of the underlying GLD shares, combined with the theoretical income generated from selling monthly call options on those shares, all while accounting for simulated trading expenses inherent to such a strategy.
