The Defiance S&P 500 Income Target ETF (SPYT) aims to provide investors with a significant annual income of 20%.

It uses a unique strategy involving index ETFs and daily credit call spreads to generate income through option premiums.

By holding shares of S&P 500 ETFs, SPYT gains exposure to the broad market.

Simultaneously, it sells covered calls, selling call options at the current market price.

To enhance income, SPYT buys another call option at a slightly higher strike price.

This strategy is designed to exploit short-term options while minimizing downside risk.

If the market price remains below a certain point (the “dead zone”), the options expire worthless, allowing SPYT to keep all income generated.

If the market rises, SPYT benefits both from the purchased call option and the underlying index ETF appreciation.

However, to mitigate potential loss during severe market rallies, the purchased call option limits the upside potential compared to investors who hold the S&P 500 directly.

SPYT seeks to provide a consistent income stream and protect investors from significant drawdowns.

However, its actual returns and income generation depend on market conditions and option premiums, which can be unpredictable.
