WisdomTree CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Strategy Fund

PUTW tracks an index that consists of short SPY put options and cash collateral. The index selects put options that target a premium of 2.5% and rolls its exposure twice a month.

WisdomTree PutWrite Strategy Fund ETF is an options-based income play similar to covered call funds. The fund's distribution history has been sporadic and unpredictable, making it difficult to confidently rate it as a buy. The fund recently switched from annual to monthly distributions, which is a right step to make distributions more stable and predictable.

PUTW ETF writes put options on the SPY ETF while investing proceeds into treasuries. Put/write strategies have similar payoffs as covered calls. However, in rising markets, put/write may outperform as the written puts tend to expire worthless.

WisdomTree CBOE S&P 500 Put Write Strategy ETF is a vehicle employing a systematic cash covered put writing overlay. The fund writes 1-month at the money puts on the S&P 500 index.

Once upon a time, dividends played a starring role in equity markets—until 14 years of easy money whetted investors' appetite for risk and created a massive tailwind for unprofitable, long-duration growth stocks. Valuations appear to be attractive: Stocks yielding north of 2.5% are trading near their largest discount to the equity market in recent memory.

Endowment-style investing, popularized by the late David Swensen of Yale University, was once reserved for endowments, but thanks to Swensen's stellar long-term track record, more money managers are looking to duplicate these endowment strategies. More investors seem to be receptive to the idea too, but for advisors, building endowment-style portfolios from scratch is difficult.
