KEOFKurv Equity Option Income ETF

TCALAT. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Premium Income ETF

In short

KEO No data

TCAL An active stock picker's take on the covered-call trade: roughly 70 hand-chosen holdings, calls written on top, cash paid out monthly, all for 0.34% a year.

Stated mandate

KEO No data

TCAL The fund seeks regular distributions while aiming to preserve capital and potentially achieve capital appreciation. It invests in equities and writes covered calls to generate cash flow alongside dividends.

Why people hold it

KEO No data

  • TCAL At 0.34% a year, it undercuts most active options-income funds, including DIVO at 0.56%, so more of the option premium stays in the portfolio instead of the fee line.
  • Active all the way down: roughly 70 equities picked by T. Rowe Price, with covered calls layered on to generate cash alongside dividends. No index sitting underneath.
  • Pays monthly, and the stated mandate ties those distributions to preserving capital and seeking appreciation rather than maximizing headline yield.
  • Ranks among the strongest implementations in a crowded options-income field, with cost the clearest edge.

Worth knowing

KEO No data

  • TCAL Written calls trade upside for cash. When the stock picks run hard, the calls limit how much of that move the fund keeps.
  • Launched in 2025, so there is no full market-cycle record to judge the strategy against yet.
  • The fund discloses that distributions can include return of capital, meaning part of a payout may be your own money coming back rather than income earned.
