Our read on SPIN
AState Street's take on the covered-call boom: an actively picked book of large- and mid-cap US stocks with index calls written over the top, priced at 0.25% a year, a fraction of the typical options-income fee.
SPIN seeks current income while retaining potential for long-term growth. It actively invests in large- and mid-cap U.S. stocks selected for fundamentals, valuation, and growth prospects, while dynamically selling calls on a U.S. large-cap exposure such as the S&P 500 to add monthly income.
Why people hold it
- 0.25% a year, a fraction of the typical options-income fee, and it undercuts close peers like PAPI (0.29%), ROCY and JOYT (0.35%) and DIVO (0.56%).
- Calls are sold against a US large-cap exposure such as the S&P 500 rather than name by name, so the stock sleeve's individual winners aren't each capped.ssga.com
- Underneath the overlay sits a real stock book: roughly 90 large- and mid-cap US names chosen on fundamentals, valuation and growth. Income is paid monthly.
- On cost and how closely it delivers its stated mandate, it sits among the stronger builds in a crowded options-income field.
Worth knowing
- The overlay pays for monthly income by giving up part of a sharp rally in the index it writes against. That trade sits at the heart of every covered-call fund.
- Small and lightly traded next to the category's household names, which can mean wider spreads getting in and out.
- Live since 2024, so the track record is short and hasn't spanned a full market cycle.
