The Global X Russell 2000 Covered Call ETF (RYLD) is a derivative income fund that seeks to track an index holding the Russell 2000 Index while writing one-month at-the-money covered calls on that same index. The strategy obligates the fund to invest at least 80% of its total assets in Russell 2000 component securities or instruments with substantially identical economic characteristics.
As a covered call ETF, RYLD generates additional income by collecting premiums from selling call options, though this structure typically caps upside participation in exchange for those premiums. The underlying Russell 2000 Index tracks U.S. small-cap equities, making RYLD a tool for investors seeking income exposure to the small-cap segment of the U.S. market.
