Our read on WTPI
In short
BMost S&P 500 income ETFs own the stocks and sell calls. WTPI flips the trade: Treasury collateral plus put options written on the index twice a month, each sized to target a 2.5% premium.
Stated mandate
The fund seeks capital appreciation and current income through a put-writing strategy tied to U.S. large-cap equity exposure. It is designed to provide enhanced income and potentially lower volatility than traditional equity exposure.
