This actively managed fund is designed for investors seeking a dual objective: participating in the growth potential of the Nasdaq 100 companies while simultaneously generating a consistent income stream. It achieves this by investing primarily in a portfolio of equity securities that are components of the prominent technology-focused index. The strategy aims to offer a different risk-return profile compared to a straightforward, long-only investment in the underlying index, potentially providing smoother returns over time by harnessing option premiums.

The core of the fund's income-generation component lies in its systematic 'buy-write' or covered call strategy. The investment manager sells call options on the index on a monthly basis. By selling these options, the fund collects an upfront payment, known as a premium, which contributes to its income. This approach is designed to enhance yields, especially in flat or moderately rising market environments. The income generated from the option premiums can provide a cushion during market downturns and contribute to the fund's total return. The accumulating share class structure ensures this income is automatically reinvested to foster compounding growth.

This investment vehicle may be suitable for those who are constructive on the long-term prospects of large-cap growth companies but wish to mitigate some of the inherent volatility and enhance income. However, investors must understand the inherent trade-off of a covered call strategy. In periods of strong market rallies, the fund's upside potential is capped because the sold call options limit the gains from the underlying stocks. Therefore, while it aims to generate income and reduce volatility, it may underperform a direct investment in its benchmark during powerful bull markets.
