Investment objective & strategy

As of Nov. 5, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. The Fund?s investment objective is income and long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by implementing options strategies on the Standard & Poor?s 500 Index (?S&P 500?), futures contracts on the S&P 500, or similar U.S. stock indexes or their futures contracts, and/or their underlying constituents. Options strategies may include buying and selling options, buying and selling option spreads, and writing covered call options. The Fund also invests collateral in excess of that needed for investing in options strategies in primarily high quality, short-term income-producing securities and cash and cash equivalents, including treasury securities and money market funds. The Fund may invest in one or more non-exchange-traded total return swap contracts and/or one or more structured notes to gain exposure to some or all of the … The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by implementing options strategies on the Standard & Poor?s 500 Index (?S&P 500?), futures contracts on the S&P 500, or similar U.S. stock indexes or their futures contracts, and/or their underlying constituents. Options strategies may include buying and selling options, buying and selling option spreads, and writing covered call options. The Fund also invests collateral in excess of that needed for investing in options strategies in primarily high quality, short-term income-producing securities and cash and cash equivalents, including treasury securities and money market funds. The Fund may invest in one or more non-exchange-traded total return swap contracts and/or one or more structured notes to gain exposure to some or all of the options strategies. These instruments can provide exposure to a basket of options strategies, including option writing and various options spreads. The options strategies are generally designed to take advantage of certain inefficiencies in the market and typically have a positive carry expectation (i.e., a positive net income expectation from putting on the options positions). The options strategies may implement risk mitigation techniques, including intraday delta hedging, which is a risk management strategy intended to reduce market exposure from written options by establishing offsetting positions in the underlying asset or related instruments. These types of options strategies may also be implemented directly without the use of a total return swap and/or structured note. The Fund may also implement covered call strategies in which the Fund sells call options on securities it holds to generate premium income and provide partial downside protection. The covered call writing may be implemented directly or included within the basket of options strategies implemented via total return swap contracts and/or structured notes. To the extent the Fund utilizes covered calls, the Fund intends to write covered call options on stock indexes such as the S&P 500 or on individual large-capitalization stocks. The Fund also invests in income-producing securities and cash and cash equivalents, some or all of which may serve as margin or collateral for the Fund?s options exposures. The income-producing securities in which the Fund may invest include short-term U.S. corporate bonds (including convertible bonds) and real estate investment trusts (?REITs?). The Fund may invest in corporate bonds of any credit quality (including ?junk? bonds), effective maturity or average modified duration; however, under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to hold a majority of its portfolio in investment grade corporate bonds (i.e., those rated BBB or higher by S&P Global Ratings, or the equivalent by another nationally recognized statistical ratings organization). The Advisor generally intends to hold such bonds to maturity, but may sell any such security if the Advisor believes that the securities no longer offer compelling risk-adjusted return potential.
