Global X Investment Strategy & Methodology
Each fund holds an index and writes covered calls on it. QYLD is the Nasdaq-100, XYLD the S&P 500, and RYLD the Russell 2000. The covered-call-and-growth versions, QYLG, XYLG, and RYLG, write calls on about half of the exposure and leave the other half uncapped.
Covered calls on the index
QYLD, XYLD, and RYLD collect premium by selling calls on their index exposure. That premium is the income, and it caps gains above the strike.
Half overwritten
In QYLG, XYLG, and RYLG, about half of the exposure has calls written on it. The rest can participate in a rally.
Three indexes
Nasdaq-100 (QYLD, QYLG), S&P 500 (XYLD, XYLG), and Russell 2000 (RYLD, RYLG).
Income or growth tilt
The full-overwrite funds lean toward income. The half-overwrite funds keep more of the upside.
