Fund Identity
What it is, who runs it, where it lives.
The Fund's primary investment objective is to seek current income.
RDTY is an actively managed ETF that employs a synthetic covered call strategy on the Russell 2000 Index, using zero days to expiration (0DTE) options. Each business day the Fund sells out-of-the-money (OTM) call options on the Index (or Index ETFs) expiring that same day to generate options premiums, while simultaneously purchasing deep-in-the-money (ITM) call options to establish synthetic long exposure to the Index. The Fund also invests in short-term U.S. Treasury securities and money market funds to generate income from uninvested cash, and must invest at least 80% of net assets in 0DTE options contracts referencing the Russell 2000 Index.

Distribution Composition (Recent)
87% Return of Capital
ROC is not free money — it lowers your cost basis. When shares are sold, capital gains are computed against the lower basis.
Composition · Narrative
Trailing-quarter return of capital averaged 86.6% of distributions (dollar-weighted across 14 distributions payable 3/26/26–6/25/26). Most recent distribution (6/25/26): 0.0% ROC. Single-week ROC is volatile for option-income funds; the dollar-weighted quarter is the steadier read.
