Covered call structure

The fund's objective is to provide a return that, before fees and expenses, tracks the S&P/ASX BuyWrite Index. Because the index pairs share holdings with written call options, the fund's returns reflect both components rather than shares alone.

The listing shows 99.55 percent in shares and 0.45 percent in cash, with 95.77 percent of holdings above one billion dollars in market capitalisation.

Sector and country weighting

Financial services account for 33.27 percent, below the category average of 34.37 percent. Basic materials are 26.09 percent against 19.89 percent, and healthcare 6.92 percent against 6.00 percent.

Real estate is 5.42 percent against 3.38 percent for the category, while energy is 4.83 percent against 6.69 percent. Australia accounts for 96.11 percent of geographic exposure.

Largest holdings and notices

BHP Group leads at 11.90 percent, followed by Commonwealth Bank of Australia at 9.73 percent. National Australia Bank, Westpac, ANZ, CSL, Wesfarmers, Macquarie Group, the December 2026 call option and Rio Tinto complete the top ten.

The top ten make up 50.62 percent of the fund. An announcement dated 15 October 2026 confirmed the appointment of Citigroup Pty Limited as fund service provider.

Final Word

The fund combines a bank and resources weighting with an Options overlay, which distinguishes its structure from a conventional share portfolio. The 0.60 percent fee and 7.38 percent annual yield are the main figures on the listing, and the expiry of the call option on 17 December 2026 is a dated item readers can track.
