In short

QUSA Quality screens usually hand you a low-yield index fund. QUSA runs an options overlay on top of profitable, low-debt U.S. companies and targets a 15% annual payout, sliced monthly, for 0.97%.

RECI No data

Stated mandate

QUSA QUSA primarily seeks income and secondarily seeks long-term capital appreciation. It combines a portfolio of U.S. quality equities with an options portfolio intended to support a 15% annual income target.

RECI No data

Why people hold it

  • QUSA The quality screen is spelled out: high profitability, low earnings variability, low leverage. The stocks come first, with the options written on top of them.vistashares.com
  • Payouts land monthly and are sized against a stated 15% annual income target, so the cadence is written into the fund's documents, not left to whatever premiums show up.
  • At 0.97% the fee sits near the options-income category median, and with no waiver propping it up, that is the all-in number rather than a teaser that resets later.
  • A 2025 launch that already stands in the upper half of a crowded options-income peer group, helped by the quality of the stocks underneath the overlay.

RECI No data

Worth knowing

  • QUSA The fund discloses that distributions can include return of capital: part of a monthly payment may be your own money coming back, which trims NAV and your cost basis.vistashares.com
  • Writing options on the holdings is what funds the income, and it caps upside: when the quality names run hard, part of that move is traded away for premium.vistashares.com
  • Small and thinly traded, so spreads can run wider than in the category's household names, and the record since the 2025 launch is short for judging the overlay.
