Our read on EDGX
BGlobal X's 2026 entry in the crowded S&P-500-style covered call field: active weekly call writing on a 500-stock US index, a stated 9% annualized distribution rate target, and a fee under the category median.
The fund seeks current income and exposure to the Solactive GBS United States 500 Index. It is actively managed and generates weekly income by writing call options.
Why people hold it
- At 0.50% a year it undercuts the typical S&P 500 options-income fund, where the median is 0.60%, so less of the premium collected leaks out in fees.
- Actively managed rather than rules-locked: it writes calls weekly against exposure to the Solactive GBS United States 500 Index, so strikes and coverage aren't fixed by a rulebook.
- The payout policy is stated up front: a 9% annualized distribution rate target (a target, not a floor), funded by weekly option premium.
Worth knowing
- Cheaper than the median, not the price leader: IVVW (0.25%) and GPIX (0.35%) run large-cap options-income strategies for less.
- A February 2026 launch, so the live record is short and, like most new funds, it began with a small asset base and light trading.
- Selling calls trades away part of a rally, and premium income rises and falls with volatility, so income and upside both move with the market.
