Additional fund: Dividend + Options premium income

Beyond traditional equity dividends, there are stock funds that achieve a higher income payout target through the additional use of options premium. The strategy involves selling options on its stock. The income earned on such funds comes partly from option trading, not only company profits in forms of dividends. This method may add risk and cap the returns in certain market environments.

*Annualised returns are calculated based on the returns of the target share class, and the oldest share class of the fund where the target share class is younger than three years. Three-year returns are based on the period from 1 August 2022 to 31 July 2025 unless otherwise stated. Returns are reported in their respective base currency and are net of fund-level fees. 

Endowus does not charge a preliminary sales charge or any other additional fees, other than the all-in Endowus Fee.

^The 12-month yield is the amount paid in distribution (pre-tax) in the past 12 months expressed as a percentage of the previous month-end fund unit price, shown in 2 decimal places.
