About this ETF
WEEI is an actively managed fund that aims to invest in equity securities of North American energy companies. Stocks considered for the portfolio engage in the oil, gas, consumable fuels, or energy equipment and services. The funds advisor uses a bottom-up framework focusing on fundamental criteria such as cash flow and growth projections to select 20-25 stocks. Single stock covered call writing strategy is also employed, aiming to provide monthly income and capital appreciation. In addition, the strategy aims for 10-20% less volatility and beta than the S&P Energy Select Sector Index. The call options written are typically 1-month contracts, averaging 3-5% out-of-the-money, and sold on a monthly recurring basis.

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.
