WEEL is an actively managed exchange traded fund that seeks current income. The Fund’s strategy consists of two main components firstly, investing in a range of sector-specific ETFs and, in some instances, individual securities and secondly, implementing an “option wheel strategy.” Option Wheel Strategy is a systematic approach to options trading where a trader continuously sells cash secured put options to generate income and potentially acquire an underlying asset at a lower price (if the sold put option is assigned to the Fund), and then, when the reference asset is assigned, sells covered call options against the acquired asset to generate additional income until the asset is called away. At that point, the cycle starts over.
