Fund Identity
What it is, who runs it, where it lives.
The Kurv Gold Enhanced Income ETF seeks to maximize total return..
The Gold Fund seeks to exceed the price return of gold bullion by primarily investing in derivative instruments on gold bullion-related ETPs (ETFs and ETNs), backed by a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments and Preferred Securities Instruments. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets are invested in physical gold, gold bullion-related ETPs, or derivatives on gold or gold bullion-related ETPs. The Fund normally uses option contracts on gold bullion-related ETPs, including FLEX options, to gain exposure to gold bullion, and may create synthetic long positions by simultaneously buying call options and selling put options. The Fund also employs various option strategies such as covered call writing, uncovered calls/puts, spreads, risk reversals, and protective puts to generate income and/or preserve capital.

The Fund normally uses option contracts, including FLEX Options, on gold bullion-related ETPs to gain gold exposure; synthetic long positions are created by buying call options and simultaneously selling put options with the same expiry and strike price on a gold bullion-related ETP. Covered and uncovered call writing is employed to generate income, with notional exposure from put and call options not to exceed 200% of NAV. The Fund may also use FLEX Options, which are customizable exchange-listed options guaranteed for settlement by the OCC and are generally European-style (cash-settled at expiration).
