FTQI is an actively-managed fund that targets US stocks, overlaid by a call options strategy. The fund manager selects constituents based on several factors including trading liquidity, market-cap, price level, sector classification, and contribution to risk and return. To generate additional cash flow, the fund writes calls on the Nasdaq-100 seeking a notional value of 50-100% of the funds assets. The fund appears to be primarily model-driven in its portfolio selection, but the active management wrapper allows the fund manager to take advantage of market anomalies during periods of high volatility. Prior to May 11, 2022, the fund traded under the ticker FTLB, and was known as the First Trust Hedged BuyWrite Income ETF that imposes an option strategy consisting of both buying put and writing call options on the S&P 500.
