Our read on XIDE
In short
CMost buffer funds swap upside for a cap. This one swaps it away entirely: it sells at-the-money calls on its S&P 500 reference fund, buffers the first 10% of that fund's losses, and pays the option premium out monthly.
Stated mandate
The Fund seeks approximately 7.08% annualized income before fees and expenses while buffering the first 10% of losses of its underlying ETF during the December 22, 2025–December 18, 2026 outcome period.
