Our read on SIXH
In short
CMost hedged-equity funds bolt options onto an index. SIXH runs a concentrated book of about 50 growth-and-quality stocks, then writes calls on broad equity indexes over the top. Active on both sides, and it pays monthly.
Stated mandate
The Fund seeks capital appreciation. Its active strategy combines an equity portfolio with call-option writing on broad equity-market indices or funds, intended to reduce broad equity-market exposure.
