Our read on NBOS

ETF.net Research

In short

BMost options-income ETFs sell calls on stocks they already own. NBOS flips the trade: it sells collateralized puts on the S&P 500 and parks the collateral in bonds, so premium, not dividends, does the work.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term capital growth and income mainly by selling collateralized puts on U.S. indices, including the S&P 500 and related S&P 500 suite indices, while investing collateral in fixed-income instruments intended to moderate volatility.

Why people hold it

  • The mandate is a put-write, not a covered call: sell collateralized puts on the S&P 500 and related indices, hold the collateral in fixed income meant to moderate volatility.
  • 0.59% a year, below the 0.75% median for its options-income peer group and cheaper than every fund citing the same index (ACYS, SIXH, OVL, MRSK).
  • Pays monthly, and runs a compact book of roughly 30 positions rather than a sprawling equity sleeve with options bolted on.
  • Sticks closely to the strategy its prospectus describes, and stands among the stronger implementations in a crowded options-income field.

Worth knowing

  • Selling puts means your equity upside is the premium collected, while index downside still flows through. Expect it to trail the S&P 500 in strong rallies.
  • Launched in 2024, so the live record is short and spans a narrow slice of market conditions.
  • Moderately traded rather than a category giant, so limit orders are the sane way in and out.
