GLDY ETF Analysis: Dividends, Returns NASDAQ:GLDY

Analysis

Key stats

GLDY aims to generate monthly income through risk exposure to shares of GLD, a fund that tracks the gold spot price using physically held gold bars in London vaults. At least once a week, GLDY sells put options priced at-the-money or 0%-5% in-the-money, which places a cap on potential gains. The strategy may profit when GLDs share price increases, stays flat, or decreases slightly. However, the fund is subject to all potential losses if GLDs share price declines significantly, which may not be offset by the income received. The fund seeks to outperform relative to traditional option-based strategies with a typical duration of less than one week. GLDY does not invest directly in gold bullion or the underlying ETP. Due to the nature of its options strategy, the fund may occasionally hold GLD shares intending to be sold within the day to avoid tax implications. The fund will hold short-term US Treasurys as collateral. There is no guarantee the strategy will result in higher income.
