Update on the Defiance Russel 2000 daily Put selling ETF. It started trading yesterday on the IWMY ticker. Looks like their strategy is to sell daily ATM/ITM puts on the Russel 2000. Still no word on when/if the 0DTEs will come out. I guess they will alternate between 0DTE & 1DTE.
From the prospectus:
Each day, the Fund will sell at-the-money and in-the-money puts on the Index (or on passively managed ETFs that seek to track the Index’s performance). In particular, the Fund will sell puts with near-term expirations at a range of 0% to 5% “in-the-money” (i.e., that is where the strike price is above the current value of the Index by between 0% and 5%). The Fund will receive premium income for each put sold. In addition, the strategy will provide the Fund with the opportunity to earn both time decay (described below) and, for in-the-money puts, a limited amount of upside appreciation up to the puts’ strike price (described below) plus the puts’ intrinsic value. The expiration dates at the time of purchase for the Fund’s sold puts will range from one day to a week. The Fund’s participation in potential increases in the value of the Index is based on the level of the Index at the time the Fund sells a put option contract and the Index’s level at the time of the contract’s expiration.
