About
WRTH utilizes a distinct options strategy known as a "strangle." This involves simultaneously issuing short-term call options and uncovered put options on major US-listed corporations from developed nations, alongside acquiring call options with higher strike prices. These options are initially "out-of-the-money," meaning their value is primarily based on the time remaining until expiry and the likelihood of the underlying asset's price reaching the designated strike. The fund generates income from the premiums received for selling these options, with the purchased higher-strike calls designed to cap potential upward price exposure. Nevertheless, the fund could incur financial losses if the security's price falls outside the established "strangle range," which is determined by the upper and lower strike prices. New positions are typically initiated when a security experiences notable price fluctuations, and existing positions may be closed if collected premiums drop below 10% of their original value. The fund imposes a strict ceiling on its overall notional exposure at 125%. Technical analysis is a crucial component, guiding security selection, timing of trades, and the establishment of appropriate strike price ranges. Additionally, the fund holds cash, highly liquid assets, and/or short-duration US Treasury securities to serve as collateral. It is important to note that there is no assurance the fund will consistently achieve its stated objectives.
