CRSH pursues monthly income and inverse exposure to Tesla stock (TSLA). It employs a synthetic covered put strategy, leveraging options to achieve its objectives. The strategy places a cap on potential gains when the shares decrease in value. This approach involves selling TSLA call options and concurrently purchasing TSLA put options, typically with three- to six-month terms and at-the-money strike prices. Additionally, CRSH writes put options on TSLA to generate income, usually with contracts expiring within one month and strike prices approximately 0%-15% below the current TSLA share price. The fund holds short-term US Treasury securities as collateral. Moreover, it purchases out-of-the-money call options to manage potential losses from its short exposure to TSLA, especially in scenarios of significant stock appreciation. Note: CRSH does not directly invest in Tesla stocks, and investors are not entitled to any TSLA dividends.
