Many option income strategies generate income by consistently selling covered calls — which may limit upside participation during strong equity markets. $OVL takes a different approach. The fund generates option income by selling puts — not calls — seeking to maintain full equity exposure. Since inception, this approach has delivered stronger total returns compared to the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (BXM), net of fees. Performance varies; options strategies involve unique risks (theocc.com). Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
