💬 AI prompt: Covered calls and option-income ETFs
A covered call means you rent out the chance to sell your shares at a higher price in exchange for a little cash now.
Copy this prompt
I'm pasting the fact sheet and distribution notices for an option-income fund [paste]. In plain English explain: (1) the options strategy it uses, (2) what caps its upside, (3) how much of recent distributions the fund says was income vs. return of capital, (4) its expense ratio, (5) its total return vs. the index it writes options on, if listed. Do not say whether to buy it, and do not give tax or investment advice. Stop after these five points.
