Our read on SMRF
BNuclear power meets option-writing. SMRF actively holds about 70 global small-modular-reactor, nuclear and related tech names, then buys and writes options on top to pull income from a famously jumpy theme.
The Fund seeks capital appreciation and income through an actively managed portfolio of equity securities significantly tied to the Nautilus SMR, Nuclear & Technology Index, together with bought and written options.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.65% a year, under the median for its options-income peer group and below names like HYGW (0.69%) and SVOL (0.66%).
- One wrapper, two jobs: the fund seeks capital appreciation and income, pairing the stock sleeve with bought and written options.
- Actively managed around the Nautilus SMR, Nuclear & Technology Index rather than bolted to it, so the manager sets the option book.
- Spreads across roughly 70 global holdings instead of a handful of pure-play reactor startups, and the income policy targets a relatively stable payout level.
Worth knowing
- Written calls trade away part of a big rally for premium today. In a runaway nuclear melt-up, the option book is the brake.
- Launched in 2026 with a small asset base and thin trading, so spreads can run wider than in the giants of the category.
- A single-theme portfolio tied to reactors, uranium and power-hungry tech moves on policy and project news, and swings harder than a broad index.
