The ETF.net XCLR Grade
Score 40 of 100 sits in the C band. Bands: A ≥ 70, B ≥ 55, C ≥ 40, D ≥ 25, F < 25; the scale skips E. A structural cap ceilings this fund at 40, so B and A are out of reach.

Our read on XCLR
CMost S&P 500 options funds sell calls to manufacture income. XCLR spends the premium on a floor instead: hold the index, own 5% out-of-the-money puts, sell 10% out-of-the-money calls, for 0.25% a year.
XCLR seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Cboe S&P 500 3-Month Collar 95-110 Index. It does so by holding S&P 500 stocks, buying 5% OTM SPX puts, and selling 10% OTM SPX calls.
Why people hold it
- A collar, not a yield machine. Call premium funds the puts, so the option income is spent buying downside protection rather than handed out as distributions.cdn.cboe.com
- 0.25% a year puts it at the low end of the S&P 500 options-income group, where fees commonly run well above that.
- Under the options sits the real thing: roughly 500 S&P 500 stocks, held directly, not swaps or a synthetic sleeve.
- Rules-based since its 2021 launch. The 5%-down, 10%-up strike distances come from the Cboe index, not a manager's read on volatility.sec.gov
Worth knowing
- Those 10% out-of-the-money calls cap the upside in a strong rally. That is the trade for owning the puts.
- Not built as a monthly paycheck. Distributions come annually or semiannually because the premium is spent on protection.
- Assets are modest and trading is thin, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the household names in the group.
