Our read on WRTH
CMost option-income funds write covered calls on an index and stop there. WRTH sells both sides, calls above and puts below, on single stocks right after a news shock, when premiums are fat and volatility is cooling.
The Fund seeks current income through a strangle-style options strategy on equity securities of U.S. exchange-listed companies. It also holds cash, cash equivalents, and short-term U.S. Treasury securities for collateral and income generation.
Why people hold it
- Two-sided premium: it sells calls above the price and puts below on the same name, so income comes from both wings instead of a single covered-call leg.businesswire.com
- The entry trigger is spelled out: it targets names right after sharp news moves, typically earnings, when option pricing is inflated and volatility is starting to settle.businesswire.com
- Cash, cash equivalents and short-term Treasuries sit behind the options as collateral and earn on their own. Income is scheduled quarterly.
Worth knowing
- At 1.02%, it runs above the peer-group median of 0.95% and several times the index-based writers like PAPI (0.29%) and ROCY (0.35%). Active stock-by-stock work is what the fee buys.
- Strangles cut both ways: short calls trim the upside if a stock keeps running, short puts take on the downside if it keeps sliding.businesswire.com
- A 2026 launch means a short record to judge, and the fund discloses that distributions can include return of capital (some of your own money coming back).
