Looks like a fund that tracks the price of gold bullion with covered calls implemented into the portfolio to generate income.
I could see why someone would want to do this when gold was relatively illiquid. But now with bullion ETFs, one could just sell shares to generate income in the click of a button.
It has underperformed the price of gold by about 20% since its inception in 2021. Its underperformance is even more amplified recently because of golds large runup. The larger the runup, the more the covered call strategy will impact this ETF.
These funds have never been my cup of tea. In my opinion, just buy the underlying asset and sell shares to generate income.
One situation where I could see this fund doing reasonable well is in a flat gold market. It will be able to generate income from the covered calls without being forced to sell the gold when the options get executed. But outside of that, not a huge fan.
