Fund Identity
What it is, who runs it, where it lives.
The Fund seeks current income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.
TSPY is an actively managed ETF that holds long positions in S&P 500 ETFs (SPY and/or VOO) and sells daily out-of-the-money covered call options with zero days to expiration (0DTE) on those ETFs or on SPX/XSP index options to generate premium income. The Adviser uses proprietary technology to select the optimal strike price each day, targeting calls between 0% and 5% out of the money. The Fund also holds short-term U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. This strategy converts a portion of potential upside price appreciation into current income distributed monthly.

Distribution Composition (Recent)
ROC is not free money — it lowers your cost basis. When shares are sold, capital gains are computed against the lower basis.
Composition · Narrative
The May 2026 distribution of $0.2931 per share is estimated to be 100% return of capital with no net investment income or capital gains component. On a fiscal year-to-date basis, 99% of cumulative distributions have been return of capital and 1% net investment income. These figures are estimates for book purposes and may differ for tax reporting.
