Our read on HEMI
BHartford's late entry into the crowded S&P 500 premium-income field, with a twist: an actively picked, value-quality-momentum stock book sits under the options overlay, aimed at tax-efficient income while leaving room to appreciate.
Seeks tax-efficient current income while retaining potential for capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- Not a plain index buy-write. An active portfolio screened on value, quality and momentum sits under the options sleeve, with the S&P 500 as the reference point.
- The mandate is written for tax-efficient current income while retaining potential for capital appreciation, not income at any cost.
- At 0.58%, the fee lands just under the median for S&P 500 options-income ETFs, a group where plenty of funds charge north of 0.90%.
Worth knowing
- It launched in December 2025, so there is no multi-year record showing how the strategy handles a full market cycle.
- A small asset base and light trading make spreads wider than in the category's giants. Limit orders matter more here.
- Cheaper rivals crowd the same trade: IVVW at 0.25%, RSPA at 0.32%, GPIX and BALI at 0.35%.
