About this ETF
The Simplify Gold Strategy PLUS Income ETF (YGLD) aims to achieve both capital growth and a consistent stream of income. This actively managed exchange-traded fund employs a dual approach, integrating a gold futures strategy with an options overlay designed to generate income. Its futures component is structured to provide a magnified 150% exposure to the performance of gold. For income generation, the options overlay involves primarily selling short-term spread options across diverse underlying assets, such as indices or ETFs linked to equities, fixed income, and commodities. The ultimate objective is to secure appealing income opportunities while maintaining an enhanced, leveraged position in gold.
