Our read on each fund
JOYTA
YLDY—
In short
JOYT JOYT sells options against a concentrated book of large-cap U.S. stocks, but the premium is aimed at total return and lower volatility rather than a monthly paycheck. Distributions land once or twice a year.
Stated mandate
JOYT JOYT seeks total return with lower volatility than the overall U.S. large-cap market through dividends, options premium, and capital appreciation. It uses an actively managed portfolio of primarily established large-cap U.S. equities and an options overlay intended to diversify returns and reduce volatility.
