SPYC aims to provide capital appreciation by primarily investing in ETFs with exposure to the S&P 500 Index and using an option overlay strategy. The fund has the potential to allocate up to 20% of its assets to the option overlay component, which involves purchasing both exchange-traded and over-the-counter (OTC) put and call options on the S&P 500 Index or any related ETF. The options overlay straddles the index, looking to enhance returns in volatile markets. The funds returns are intended to possess convexity because the relationship between the funds returns and the market returns is designed to be non-linear. The fund may purchase or sell options more frequently than its normal rebalancing requirements and option expiration dates. The convex strategy presumes if market returns go up and down in a linear fashion, the fund's returns will rise faster than the market in bullish markets while declining less in bearish markets. Convex strategies tend to lag during quiet markets.
