About this ETF
This fund employs a sophisticated strategy, blending long and short equity positions with an options overlay. Its primary aim is to generate monthly income while maintaining exposure to the U.S. stock market. Investments are concentrated in U.S. exchange-traded mid- and large-capitalization companies. Portfolio construction is driven by a proprietary process that identifies companies with strong fundamental prospects for long investments, while targeting those with weaker outlooks for short selling. Long positions are chosen via bottom-up security analysis, whereas short positions focus on equities exhibiting deficiencies in balance sheets, cash flow, or sector conditions. Complementing its equity holdings, the fund utilizes an options strategy based on index-based put spreads (both written and purchased) to generate premium and enhance income. These options are actively managed and can be adjusted before expiration, serving to complement the equity exposures rather than outright hedge them. The fund consistently maintains a long/short structure with predefined gross exposure targets and may hold cash and short-term instruments to support operations and its short positions.

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.
