Products and/or services of First Trust Nasdaq BuyWriteome ETF
- Investing in equity securities listed on U.S. exchanges: The ETF primarily invests in stocks of companies listed on American stock exchanges, specifically focusing on those included in the Nasdaq-100 Index. The Nasdaq-100 Index includes 100 of the largest and non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
- Utilizing a covered call option writing strategy: This strategy involves selling (writing) call options on the Nasdaq-100 Index. Call options give the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a security at a certain price (strike price) by a certain time (expiration date). By selling these call options, FTQI generates income from the premiums paid by the buyers.
- Income generation: The primary goal of FTQI is to generate income for investors through the premiums received from selling covered calls.
- Potential for capital appreciation: FTQI also holds stocks in the Nasdaq-100 Index, which provides the potential for capital appreciation if the stock prices increase.
- Limited downside protection: The covered call writing strategy can limit the potential for capital appreciation from FTQI if the stock prices in the Nasdaq-100 Index rise significantly. This is because if the stock price goes above the strike price of the written call options, the option buyers will exercise their right to purchase the stock from FTQI at the lower strike price.
- Potential for income regardless of market direction: Covered call writing can generate income even if the stock market goes down, as long as the underlying stocks don't decline by more than the premium received from selling the call options.
