Our read on NUGY
In short
DNUGY doesn't own gold or a single miner. It sells put options on a 2x daily gold miners ETF, harvesting premium from one of the most volatile corners of the gold trade, with only capped exposure to the leveraged fund itself.
Stated mandate
NUGY seeks income by primarily selling put options on leveraged ETFs designed to track a 2x daily version of the Arca Gold Miners Index, with secondary capped exposure to that leveraged ETF.
