About this ETF
The Overlay Shares Short Term Bond ETF (OVT) is an actively managed fund that pursues its investment goals through a dual strategy. Firstly, it seeks exposure to the short-duration fixed-income market by investing in other exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that hold high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bonds. Alternatively, the fund may directly acquire these underlying debt instruments. A key characteristic of these bonds is their maturity profile: they maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of no more than three years, with no single bond maturing beyond five years. Secondly, to generate additional income, the ETF actively trades (both selling and purchasing) exchange-listed, short-term put options.

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.
