iShares Investment Strategy & Methodology
Each fund holds one iShares bond ETF and writes monthly covered calls on it. The premium is the extra income. The fund still takes the bond ETF’s price moves, and the calls give up gains above the strike.
One bond ETF underneath
TLTW holds TLT. LQDW holds LQD. HYGW holds HYG.
Monthly calls
Calls are written on the underlying bond ETF, not on a stock index.
Treasury, investment grade, high yield
The three funds cover long Treasuries, investment-grade credit, and high-yield credit.
