Fund Identity
What it is, who runs it, where it lives.
The Fund seeks to generate high monthly income while providing reduced downside risk through exposure to the Bloomberg US Large Cap VolMax Autocallable Index (the "Autocallable Index")..
ATCL is an actively managed ETF that gains synthetic exposure to the Bloomberg US Large Cap VolMax Autocallable Index via unfunded total return swap agreements rather than direct replication. The Autocallable Index tracks a laddered portfolio of 252–1,260 synthetic autocallable contracts whose coupons and principal are tied to the Bloomberg US Large Cap VolMax Index, a volatility-targeting index that dynamically adjusts exposure to the Bloomberg 500 Total Return Index to target 40% volatility. Each autocallable contract pays a monthly coupon of 10% + SOFR (annualized) when the underlying reference index is at or above a 60% coupon barrier, is subject to automatic call if the index meets or exceeds its strike-date level after a one-year non-callable period, and provides principal protection down to a 50% risk barrier at maturity. The Fund holds U.S. Treasuries, cash equivalents, and box spreads as collateral alongside the swap agreements.

Tax
Ordinary Income
Options are used solely to construct box spreads, which function as cash equivalents to serve as collateral for the Fund's swap agreements. The box spread construction eliminates directional market risk tied to the underlying reference asset's price movements once initiated. The Fund does not use options to generate income or hedge equity exposure directly; income generation comes through the autocallable contract coupons embedded in the total return swaps.
