The ETF.net QCLR Grade
Score 40 of 100 sits in the C band. Bands: A ≥ 70, B ≥ 55, C ≥ 40, D ≥ 25, F < 25; the scale skips E. A structural cap ceilings this fund at 40, so B and A are out of reach.

Our read on QCLR
CMost Nasdaq-100 options funds sell calls for income. QCLR spends the premium on downside puts instead: buy 5% out-of-the-money puts, sell 10% out-of-the-money calls, and let returns live inside a band.
QCLR seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Nasdaq-100 Quarterly Collar 95-110 Index. It uses a collar around Nasdaq-100 stocks by buying 5% OTM puts and selling 10% OTM calls.
Why people hold it
- Hedging, not yield harvesting: it owns Nasdaq-100 stocks, sells 10% OTM calls and puts that premium into 5% OTM puts. Distributions come once or twice a year, not monthly.globalxetfs.com
- Cheap for what it does: 0.25% a year, versus a category median near 0.68%, and less than category staples like QYLD (0.60%) and JEPQ (0.35%).
- The calls sit 10% out of the money, so index gains up to that strike stay with the fund. At-the-money covered-call funds hand theirs off from the first tick.globalxetfs.com
- Running since 2021, so the collar has traded through a real Nasdaq drawdown and the rebound after it, not just a backtest.
Worth knowing
- The puts start 5% out of the money. The first slice of a decline is yours before the hedge does anything.globalxetfs.com
- Above the call strike, extra upside goes to the option buyer. In a fast Nasdaq run this behaves like a capped version of the index.indexes.nasdaqomx.com
- One of the smaller, thinly traded names in a category full of giants, so quoted spreads can run wider than the household tickers alongside it.
