About this ETF
LQID seeks enhanced income by combining short-term investment-grade bonds with an options-based yield overlay. Investments primarily consist of USD-denominated bonds, along with ETFs, MBS, ABS, derivatives, and other fixed-income securities issued by both US and foreign entities. To generate additional income, the fund writes short-term exchange-traded and OTC call and put options. These options are primarily written on fixed-income instruments such as bond ETFs, interest rate futures, swaps, and short-term rate products linked to benchmarks like US Treasuries and the federal funds rate. The typical maturities for these positions are under six months. The strategy also aims to manage capital gains distributions through low portfolio turnover and tax-loss harvesting. The fund holds cash, cash equivalents, or other short-term securities as collateral.

Latest News for LQID
No articles mention this fund directly in the last 7 days; showing general ETF coverage.
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.
