About this ETF
HEDG is a fund-of-funds, aiming to generate income and mitigate downside risk through a covered call option-writing strategy. The fund invests in equity securities based on the S&P 500 index, using either ETFs or direct stock purchases. It writes covered call options on these securities to earn premiums, which provide partial downside protection while limiting potential gains. Options positions are typically rolled quarterly. To maintain liquidity or meet redemptions, the fund may hold cash, cash equivalents, ETFs, or money-market funds, capped at 20%. Additionally, assets may fully shift to the same short-term instrumetns in response to adverse market conditions. Prior to October 13, 2025, HEDG was a mutual fund called Equable Shares Hedged Equity Fund before converting to an ETF structure, starting with $275.2 million in assets.
