Our read on QQQT
In short
DMost Nasdaq-100 income funds pay out whatever premium they happen to collect. QQQT works backward from the number: a stated 20% annual distribution target, funded by call spreads sold daily on the index, paid monthly.
Stated mandate
The Fund seeks current income and, secondarily, exposure to the performance of the Nasdaq 100 Index.
