Description: FTQI Nasdaq BuyWrite Income

FTQI is an ETF that pursues its objective primarily by holding U.S.-listed equity securities and employing a buy-write (covered call) option strategy on the Nasdaq-100 Index. The Nasdaq-100 is a benchmark of 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq stock market, weighted toward the technology and growth sectors.

The fund writes (sells) U.S. exchange-traded call options with expirations of less than one year, typically struck at-the-money or out-of-the-money relative to the current index level. This covered call approach is designed to generate incremental income from option premiums in exchange for capping the upside participation of the underlying equity portfolio, and places the fund in the derivative income ETF category.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Nasdaq-100 volatility spike boosts option premium income
  • Rising rate environment pressures ETF distribution yields
  • AUM growth accelerates as investors seek Nasdaq income exposure
