SIOO is an actively managed ETF seeking current income and long-term capital appreciation through two strategies: investing directly or indirectly in equity securities in the S&P 100 Index, generally tracking the Indexs composition and performance, and generating income via an options portfolio, aiming for a 15% annual distribution. The funds sub-adviser has discretion to invest directly, via ETFs, or synthetically in Index constituents using options or swaps, and may reallocate holdings or adjust weights for regulatory, diversification, or performance reasons. The Funds options strategies focus on generating premiums, primarily through covered call spreads, and may also include selling or buying other options to replicate exposure. Short-term US Treasuries or cash are used as collateral. The fund is actively rebalanced and may classify significant distributions as return of capital.
