How it works

The fund holds all 500 stocks of the S&P 500 in equal weights and layers an active option income overlay on top. The overlay is assembled through equity-linked notes that layer covered calls on top of cash and equity positions, with up to 10% of net assets in short-term ELNs focused on downside protection. Premium collected is distributed monthly. The strategy does not eliminate market declines: the fund still participates in downturns.

In summary

Down capture of 82% against 68% up capture means the structure gave up more upside than it cushioned losses over 26 months.
