Strategy Narrative [Text Block] | The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks current income while providing indirect exposure to the share price (i.e., the price returns) of Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE: CRCL) (“CRCL” or the “Underlying Security”), which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains. The Fund will employ its investment strategy as it relates to CRCL regardless of whether there are periods of adverse market, economic, or other conditions and will not take temporary defensive positions during such periods. As further described below, the Fund primarily uses either a synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to provide income and indirect exposure to the share price returns of CRCL, which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains as a result of the nature of the options strategy it employs. The Fund not only seeks to generate income from its options investments but also aims to derive gains when the value of CRCL increases. The Fund’s options contracts provide:
For more information, see sections “The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts,” “Synthetic Covered Call Strategy” and “SyntheticCovered Call Spread Strategy” below.
Why invest in the Fund?
That is, although the Fund may not fully participate in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price, the Fund’s portfolio is designed to generate income.
While the Fund seeks to provide current income pursuant to its investment objective, a portion (sometimes significant) of the Fund’s distributions may be classified as return of capital (“ROC”) for financial or tax reporting purposes. Generally speaking, ROC refers to the portion of a distribution from an investment that represents a return of the original investment (principal) rather than income or profit. Accordingly, such distributions do not necessarily reflect the Fund’s income or yield.
An Investment in the Fund is not an investment in the Underlying Security.
Additional information regarding the Underlying Security is also set forth below.
The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts
As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered call strategy and synthetic covered call spread strategy, the Fund will purchase and sell a combination of standardized exchange-traded and FLexible EXchange® (“FLEX”) call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the price returns of the Underlying Security.
Standardized exchange-traded options include standardized terms. FLEX options are also exchange-traded, but they allow for customizable terms (e.g., the strike price can be negotiated). For more information on FLEX options, see “Additional Information about the Funds – Exchange Traded Options Portfolio.”
The Fund’s options contracts are based on the value of the Underlying Security, which gives the Fund the right or obligation to receive or deliver shares of the Underlying Security on the expiration date of the applicable option contract in exchange for the stated strike price, depending on whether the option contract is a call option or a put option, and whether the Fund purchases or sells the option contract.
Synthetic Covered Call Strategy
In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund may implement a “synthetic covered call” strategy using the standardized exchange-traded and FLEX options described above.
The Fund’s synthetic covered call strategies consists of the following three elements, each of which is described in greater detail farther below:
To achieve a synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, the Fund will buy the Underlying Security’s call options and, simultaneously, sell the Underlying Security’s put options to try to replicate the price movements of the Underlying Security. The call options purchased by the Fund and the put options sold by the Fund will generally have one-month to six-month terms and strike prices that are approximately equal to the then-current share price of the Underlying Security at the time the contracts are purchased and sold, respectively. The combination of the long call options and sold put options provides the Fund with indirect investment exposure equal to approximately 100% of the Underlying Security for the duration of the applicable options exposure.
Covered Call Strategy
As part of its strategy, the Fund will write (sell) call option contracts on the Underlying Security to generate income. Since the Fund does not directly own the Underlying Security, these written call options will be sold short (i.e., selling a position it does not currently own). The Fund will seek to participate in the share price appreciation of the Underlying Security, if any. However, due to the nature of covered call strategies, the Fund’s participation may be subject to a cap (as described below). In this strategy, the call options written (sold) by the Fund will generally have 1- month or less expiration dates (the “Call Period”) and generally have a strike price that is approximately 0%-15% above the then-current share price of the Underlying Security.
It is important to note that the sale of the Underlying Security call option contracts will limit the Fund’s participation in the appreciation in the Underlying Security’s stock price. If the stock price of the Underlying Security increases, the above-referenced synthetic long exposure alone would allow the Fund to experience similar percentage gains. However, if the Underlying Security’s stock price appreciates beyond the strike price of one or more of the sold (short) call option contracts, the Fund will lose money on those short call positions, and the losses will, in turn, limit the upside return of the Fund’s synthetic long exposure. As a result, the Fund’s overall strategy (i.e., the combination of the synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security and the sold (short) the Underlying Security call positions) will limit the Fund’s participation in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price beyond a certain point.
Covered Call Spread Strategy
The Adviser will employ the Covered Call Spread Strategy when it believes it is a better strategy for the Fund as compared to the Covered Call Strategy. The Fund may write (sell) credit call spreads (described below) rather than stand-alone call option contracts to seek greater participation in the potential appreciation of its Underlying Security’s share price, while still generating net premium income. The Adviser will primarily employ this covered call spread strategy when it believes that the share price of its Underlying Security is likely to rise significantly in the short term (e.g., following a substantial selloff or overall positive market news). Additionally, the Adviser may use this strategy in other scenarios (e.g., if the market is undervaluing further out-of-the-money options relative to near-the-money options), where it believes the use of credit call spreads may prove more advantageous to the Fund’s total return than the covered call strategy.
A credit call spread involves selling a call option while simultaneously buying a call option with a higher strike price, both with the same expiration date. By writing credit call spreads, the Fund can potentially offset losses incurred from its short call positions if the Underlying Security’s share price rises above the strike price.
The Fund will hold short-term U.S. Treasury securities as collateral in connection with the Fund’s options contracts, as well as swaps as discussed in the “Additional Investment Strategies” section below.
The Fund intends to continuously maintain indirect exposure to the Underlying Security, primarily through the use of options contracts. As the options contracts it holds are exercised or expire it may enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as “rolling.” The Fund’s practice of rolling options may result in high portfolio turnover.
Additional Investment Strategies
In addition to the synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy described herein, the Fund may use the following additional strategies to gain exposure to the Underlying Security:
While the Fund intends to primarily utilize its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to gain exposure to the Underlying Security, it may utilize each of the foregoing to the extent it is unable to achieve its targeted exposure through the use of these primary options strategies.
Fund’s Monthly Distributions
The Fund will seek to provide monthly income in the form of cash distributions. The Fund will seek to generate such income in the following ways:
Fund’s Return Profile vs its Underlying Security
For the reasons stated above, the Fund’s performance will differ from that of the Underlying Security’s stock price. The performance differences will depend on, among other things, the price of the Underlying Security, changes in the value of the Underlying Security options contracts and swaps the Fund holds, and changes in the value of the U.S. Treasuries.
Fund Portfolio
The market value of the cash and treasuries held by the Fund is expected to be between 50% and 100% of the Fund’s net assets and the market value of the options, swaps and direct equity investments is expected to be between 0% and 50% of the Fund’s net assets. In terms of notional value, the combination of these investment instruments provides indirect investment exposure to CRCL equal to at least 100% of the Fund’s total assets.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in securities and financial instruments that provide indirect exposure to CRCL.
The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act.
There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investment strategy will be properly implemented, and an investor may lose some or all of its investment.
