Fund Identity
What it is, who runs it, where it lives.
The Fund's primary investment objective is to provide current income.
The Fund uses a synthetic covered call strategy to generate current income on a weekly basis while providing exposure to the price return of the Russell 2000® Index. It purchases deep-in-the-money call options on the Russell 2000® Index to achieve synthetic long exposure, and each business day sells out-of-the-money 0DTE (zero days to expiration) call options on the Russell 2000® Index to generate premium income. The sale of 0DTE call options caps the Fund's upside participation beyond the strike price of the sold options. The Fund invests at least 80% of net assets in financial instruments (options contracts) that utilize the Russell 2000® Index as the reference asset.

Ordinary Income
Each business day at or shortly after market open, the Fund sells out-of-the-money 0DTE call options on the Russell 2000® Index that expire at end of day, collecting premiums as the primary income source. The Fund's synthetic long exposure to the Russell 2000® Index is achieved through purchasing deeply in-the-money call options with longer maturities. The strategy caps upside participation beyond the sold call strike price in exchange for weekly premium income.
