Fund Identity
What it is, who runs it, where it lives.
The Fund seeks to provide exposure to the return of the S&P 500® Index while making monthly distribution payments equal to an annualized rate of twenty percent (20%)..
The Fund is an actively managed ETF that gains exposure to the S&P 500® Index by investing at least 80% of its net assets in SPY FLEX Options structured as deeply in-the-money purchased call options on the SPY ETF. The Fund targets a 20% annualized distribution rate paid monthly, with the adviser seeking to maximize the portion of distributions characterized as return of capital. Tax-sensitive strategies including tax loss harvesting may be employed to generate the cash needed for monthly distributions.

Share of each distribution you’d need to reinvest just to hold NAV flat. Higher means more of the yield is your own capital coming back.
