About Defiance QQQT

Enhanced options income plus thematic exposures across tech, connectivity, and macro trends.

Strategy highlights

  • Enhanced income overlays on broad and sector exposures
  • Leveraged + income products on select equities and crypto

Risk considerations

  • Options overlays can cap upside
  • Leverage and concentration risk in certain products
  • Thematic exposure increases cyclicality

Tax Considerations

Distributions from options-income ETFs are often classified partly as return of capital (ROC), which reduces your cost basis rather than being taxed as ordinary income in the year received. The exact split is published in the fund’s 19a-1 notices and finalized on your 1099-DIV.
