In short

RECI No data

VEGA The options-income aisle's odd duck: a 2012-vintage global fund-of-funds that allocates across ETFs worldwide, then writes options on top to chase upside and soften the ride. Two active decisions in one ticker.

Stated mandate

RECI No data

VEGA The Fund seeks consistent, repeatable returns across market cycles through an actively managed global fund-of-funds approach. It allocates among ETPs and sometimes individual securities while using options to pursue appreciation and reduce portfolio volatility.

Why people hold it

RECI No data

  • VEGA A fund-of-funds with an options overlay: the manager sets the global ETP mix and the options written on top, all inside one ticker.advisorshares.com
  • Live since 2012, so its record spans several full market cycles.
  • Global by mandate and measured against the MSCI All Country World Index, so the yardstick is world stocks, not the S&P 500.
  • Options do double duty here: pursuing appreciation and reducing portfolio volatility, rather than maximizing a headline payout.

Worth knowing

RECI No data

  • VEGA The 1.25% expense ratio sits above the 0.95% cohort median, and peers like PAPI (0.29%) and DIVO (0.56%) charge a fraction of it.
  • Thinly traded, so spreads and order timing matter more here than in the category's household names.
  • Distributions are paid at least annually, not monthly, so the design leans on total return over a steady income drip.advisorshares.com
