The Peerless Option Income Wheel ETF (NYSE: WEEL) stands out in the investment landscape as the first-ever ETF providing turnkey access to the popular Option Wheel investment strategy. This innovative approach utilizes a dynamic, patent-pending combination of secured put writing and covered call writing to generate income.
Unlike traditional equity investments, WEEL aims to deliver equity-like returns with reduced overall volatility, making it an appealing choice for investors seeking a balance between income generation and risk management. The disciplined, mechanical methodology underpinning WEEL assists in buying low and selling high while continuously collecting income, providing a sustainable and risk-managed solution to create excess returns in range-bound markets.
Moreover, the strategy’s independence from market index appreciation sets it apart, offering potential returns regardless of bullish or bearish sentiments. The fund’s allocation predominantly across sector ETFs, with flexibility to utilize individual securities if necessary, ensures broad market exposure while effectively managing risk.
This structured approach, free from emotional biases and market predictions, aims to simulate broad market exposure on a notional basis, leveraging cash (or treasury) secured puts. By maintaining tight time frames for short put positions, the strategy allows for frequent buffer resets, controlling downside risk and ensuring continuous income generation.
One of the core objectives of the Peerless Option Income Wheel ETF is to generate current income while dampening volatility compared to traditional long-only portfolios. This is achieved through a strategic blend of put premiums, call premiums, and cash yield, creating a triple income potential. The fund’s methodology involves writing out-of-the-money secured puts to provide a buffer against potential losses while generating income.
If these puts are assigned, the positions are then managed with covered calls until they rebound, ensuring continuous income generation. In bearish market conditions, the majority of positions may be assigned, resulting in a diversified equity allocation across sectors and market capitalization.
The strategic approach of WEEL aims to outperform typical covered call strategies, especially in flat or down markets. Historical data indicates that the S&P 500 Index experienced calendar-year losses exceeding 8% nearly one-fifth of the time from 1925 to 2020. During such periods, WEEL’s approach of collecting put and call premiums, along with interest on cash sweeps or treasuries, provides a significant advantage.
This focus on income generation, combined with risk management features akin to buffer-style products, allows WEEL to achieve equity-like returns with lower overall volatility, offering investors a sophisticated and resilient income strategy.
Peerless Wealth, LLC is an SEC-registered investment advisory firm and investment manager specializing in wealth and investment management for affluent clients. Founder Erik Thompson posits that a considerable number of individual investors, alongside numerous financial advisors, may not allocate sufficient focus towards planning for (and capitalizing on) markets characterized by stagnation, or bounded within a specific range. Over the last few years, he began running the option wheel income generation technique on an account-by-account basis and also in a private hedge fund. Performance solidified the technique and gave Peerless Wealth the confidence to roll it out to the public via an ETF. Peerless ETFs, a division of Peerless Wealth, LLC, offers the first and only SEC-registered 40-Act fund that utilizes the Option Wheel.
