Our read on QFLR
CMost Nasdaq-100 downside plays lock you into a 12-month outcome period with a reset date. QFLR skips the calendar: about 50 large-cap stocks with a ladder of put options underneath, run by a manager rather than a fixed series.
The Fund seeks capital appreciation through participation in U.S. large-capitalization companies represented by the Nasdaq-100 Index while limiting potential maximum losses. It uses a hedging strategy with laddered put options and short-dated call sales.
Why people hold it
- The hedge rides a ladder of puts instead of a single 12-month outcome period, so there is no reset date to time and no waiting for the next series to open.
- It owns roughly 50 U.S. large caps directly rather than options on another fund, with the put ladder and call writing layered on top.
- For a niche hedged strategy, it changes hands easily: one of the smoother names in this corner of the market to get in and out of.
Worth knowing
- Fee is 0.89% a year, above the laddered and structured-protection options in its group (PBQQ at 0.50%, CPNS and CPNJ at 0.69%).
- The floor is financed by selling short-dated calls, so a fast Nasdaq-100 rally gets clipped. Upside is the currency here.
- The mandate is to limit maximum losses, not erase them, and the manager sets the hedge. No published cap or buffer to check before you buy.
