Our read on GPIQ
In short
AGoldman's take on the Nasdaq-100 income trade: it owns the index but sells calls on only 25% to 75% of the portfolio, reset monthly, so part of the upside stays uncapped. Fee is 0.29% net of a waiver through April 30, 2027.
Stated mandate
The Fund seeks current income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation. It provides Nasdaq-100 equity exposure and dynamically sells call options while seeking participation in rising markets.
