At today's price, $10,000 buys about 108.2 shares. If the estimated distributions were reinvested for a year at the same price, DRIP could add roughly 9.7 shares before any market movement.
Think of each $10k as a cashflow block. Stack enough blocks, diversify the roles, and the portfolio starts taking over small monthly bills before it ever replaces a full paycheck.

About SOXY
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks (i) to generate cash distributions based on a targeted annual cash distribution level of 12% (the “Annual 12% Target”), and (ii) capital appreciation. The Fund’sstrategy involves: (1) constructing a portfolio of U.S.-listed equity securities of Semiconductor Companies (each, an “Underlying Security”) (the “Equity Strategy”); and (2) the use of options strategies designed to generate premiums (the“Options Strategies”), which involve using options contracts on Underlying Securities and/or Semiconductor ETFs (described below).
Additionally, the Fund will maintain a minor allocation to cash, money market funds or U.S. Treasuries, not exceedingten percent of its total assets. Equity Strategy The Adviser selects Semiconductor Companies (defined below) in which the Fund will invest. To enable the Fund to effectively implement its Options Strategies, the Adviser evaluates the liquidity of a potential company’s common stock and the liquidity of its options contracts.
The Fund is generally unconstrained, meaning it may invest in companies of any market capitalization size.The Adviser will also evaluate price level and implied volatility (i.e., a measure of how much the market believes the price ofa stock or other underlying asset will move in the future) when selecting companies for investment and will monitor for these factors when determining whether to select new companies or remove existing companies from the portfolio. Semiconductor Companies may include companies from foreign countries, including emerging markets.
The Underlying Securities may include such companies’ U.S.-listed depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”). The Fund will be concentrated in the same industry or industries as those of the Semiconductor Companies, which subjects the Fund to specific industry-related risks. The Fund’s portfolio will generally be comprised of between fifteen and thirty companies. Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund’sport folio holdings will contribute to the Fund’s income generation. The Fund will, under normal circumstances, invest in Underlying Securities directly.
However, from time to time, the Fund may invest in Underlying Securities “synthetically” for tactical reasons or to comply with regulatory requirements. To invest synthetically, the Fund will use options contracts on Underlying Securities (considered indirect or synthetic long holdings of the Underlying Securities) to gain exposure to the share price performance of the Underlying Securities. Options Strategies – Seeking Premiums Separately,the Fund employs various options strategies focused on generating premiums.
Generally speaking, the Fund sells (writes) options on some or all of the Underlying Securities (and/or Semiconductor ETFs), receiving premiums from counter parties that pay for the right to buy or sell at a set price. These premiums are an important driver of the Fund’s distributions. On a monthly basis,the Adviser uses one or more options strategies to seek to generate net premiums (i.e., option premiums received, less option premiums paid) with a target of approximately 1% per month. Actual results may vary and are not guaranteed.
Receipt of an option premium does not always represent income; depending on the outcome of the overall options transaction. Premium levels are influenced by market conditions, particularly volatility, and the Adviser may adjust the Fund’s options strategies depending on the outlook for the Underlying Securities. While option selling may provide premium opportunities, it may also limit upside gains or increase downside risk.
Further, depending on the Adviser’s assessment of one or more of the Underlying Securities’ options contracts (e.g., they are insufficiently liquid or too costly), the Fund may employ Options Strategies using a “Semiconductor ETF” (i.e., a passively-managed, U.S.-listed ETF that seeks to track the performance of an index primarily comprised of Semiconductor Companies). The Fund applies its options strategies consistently, which for Underlying Securities includes whether they are held directly or through synthetic exposure.
The options strategy most frequently utilized by the Fund is called a covered call spread, which is a type of selling credit spread.The Fund uses covered call spreads to earn premium by selling a call option while buying another at a higher strike, with both profit and loss capped. See the prospectus section titled “Additional Information About the Funds” for a list of the options strategies that the Fund may utilize, together with a description of each options strategy. Annual12% Target Distribution As discussed above, the Fund’s options strategies are designed to seek net premiums of approximately 1% per month.
The Fund has also established a target annual cash distribution level of approximately 12% of its net asset value (the “Annual 12%Target”). This target reflects the Adviser’s expectations based on the premiums the Fund seeks to generate and theannualized effect of those premiums. In practice, the Fund’s options strategies are designed to seek monthly distribution levels of roughly 1%, which, when annualized, correspond to the Annual 12% Target. The Annual 12% Target is not a guarantee,nor does it represent a 12% yield or a 12% total return.
Actual distributions may be higher or lower depending on market conditions and the Fund’s results. To the extent the Fund’s returns fall short of the Annual 12% Target, distributions will reduce the Fund’s net asset value (NAV). Although stated as an annual target, distributions are paid more frequently, and any amount the Fund pays in excess of its earnings will reduce NAV. If the Fund’s NAV declines over time, the dollar amount of future distributions will also decrease. Distributions may include a significant portion classified as return of capital (“ROC”).
ROC generally represents a return of a shareholder’s invested capital rather than traditional income such as dividends or interest. See the prospectus section titled “Additional Information About the Funds” for more information about option premiums and ROC. The Fund seeks to pay distributions on a monthly or more frequent basis, but there is no assurance the Fund will achieve the Annual12% Target in any year. Treasuries In addition, the Fund will hold cash or short-term U.S. Treasury securities.
These securities serve a dual purpose: providing collateral for the Options Strategies and contributing to the Fund’s income generation. Fund Attributes The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act. The Fund’s investment strategy is expected to result in high portfolio turnover on an annual basis. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in the equity securities of Semiconductor Companies and options contracts on (i) Semiconductor Companies, and/or (ii) Semiconductor ETFs.
For purposes of the foregoing, the Fund defines a “Semiconductor Company” as a company that generates at least50% of its revenue from the design, manufacture, or sale of semiconductors or semiconductor equipment, and a “Semiconductor ETF” as a passively-managed, U.S.-listed ETF that seeks to track the performance of an index primarily comprised of Semiconductor Companies. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investment strategy will be properly implemented, and an investor may lose some or all of its investment.
