Our read on XRMI
BA covered-call fund with a seatbelt. XRMI owns the S&P 500, sells at-the-money calls for income, and spends part of that premium on puts 5% below the market, so the hedge is built in rather than bolted on. Pays monthly.
XRMI seeks returns broadly corresponding to the price and yield performance of the Cboe S&P 500 Risk Managed Income Index. It owns S&P 500 stocks and uses a net-credit collar to generate income while mitigating significant market declines.
Why people hold it
- Net-credit collar: it sells at-the-money S&P 500 calls and buys 5% out-of-the-money puts, sized so the call premium collected exceeds the cost of the puts.globalxetfs.comassets.globalxetfs.com
- Calls are struck at the money, the fattest part of the premium curve, not safely out of the money. Distributions go out monthly.globalxetfs.com
- Holds the roughly 500 S&P 500 stocks outright and layers the options on top. No swap counterparty, no fund-of-funds wrapper.
- Running since 2021 and tied to a published Cboe index, so strikes and rolls follow a rulebook rather than a manager's read of the tape.
Worth knowing
- At-the-money calls trade away the upside above the strike each period, so equity gains in a strong rally are structurally limited.globalxetfs.com
- The put starts 5% below the market, so the first slice of a decline lands on the fund before the hedge engages.globalxetfs.com
- At 0.60% it sits at the median of a crowded S&P 500 options-income field where IVVW (0.25%) and GPIX (0.35%) run cheaper, and it trades thinly, so spreads matter.
