Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTA Hamilton Enhanced U.S. Covered Call ETF HYLD-T BUY Jun 13, 2022

With covered calls, you have been getting some good premiums, because volatility has been high in recent months. This is a US-based ETF. HYLD's performance YTD has been 0%. You give up upside to participate in US markets. This performance may be down to bad timing and bad luck. Isn't sure why HYLD isn't keeping up with the market indices. A red flag.

It's a covered call on banks. There are many of these. The problem they have is they're leveraged by 25% which works well in an upmarket, but down, like when the banks collapsed in March 2023. He avoids anything with leverage.
