Global X Russell 2000 Covered Call ETF

RYLD tracks a market-cap selected and weighted index along with call options for the underlying index.

Funds such as the Global X Russell 2000 Covered Call Fund should outperform most of the major indexes over the next several years as growth rates likely continue to slow. RYLD is uniquely well-positioned to offer strong income in a range-bound market because the fund is indexed to the more volatile Russell 2000.
