iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond BuyWrite Strategy ETF

TLTW uses a fund-of-fund approach to passively track an index that measures the performance of holding shares of the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF and writes one-month, out-of-the-money call options against the shares.

The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond Buywrite Strategy ETF offers investors the ability to add a passive buy-write options overlay to their position in 20+ year bonds to increase current income. TLTW has a dividend yield of 18.32% and distributes dividends monthly, making it an attractive option for income investors. The options overlay used by TLTW reduces counterparty risk and assignment risk, but lacks the flexibility and responsiveness of active management.

TLTW: Income Opportunity In An Uncertain, Bloody Bond Market

Growing fears over the government's ability to pay its debt due to a large budget deficit and heavy Treasury issuance has pressured bonds. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond Buywrite Strategy ETF offers a way to generate income and potentially benefit from higher rates. TLTW has outperformed the iShares 20 Plus Year Treasury Bond ETF and has a strong liquidity rating, but caution is advised due to the bearish technical chart and seasonal trends.

TLTW: Implied Volatility On The Long Bond Jumps, Risk Remains High

The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond Buywrite Strategy ETF overlays a buy-write strategy on TLT via call options. The funds write one-month call options that are 2% out of the money. The fund has outperformed TLT by roughly 5% in the past year, given the move lower in bond prices.

TLTW: There Is No Bang For The Buck

Future decreases in interest rates and controlled inflation support the equity value of existing treasury bills. This makes investing in TLTW an attractive proposition. Slow growth in the economy allow covered call strategies to improve yields. Given a slow movement of a underlying, a covered call strategy will outperform.

TLTW: A High Yield Bet On Strong Treasury Outlooks

TLTW has outperformed TLT since its inception, but its performance may not tell the whole story as we have only seen a period when yields went up. The Federal Reserve's 'higher for longer' policy and large treasury issuances pose risks to long-duration bond funds like the TLT. TLTW is structurally disadvantaged due to trading upside for premium income, and long-term bond yields are unlikely to decrease significantly in the near future.

The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond BuyWrite Strategy ETF offers investors a yield of 19.6% annually from coupons and income from option sales. Since its launch in August 2022, the TLTW has generated 20.4% annualized income, outperforming the TLT by 6.4% annually despite capital losses on TLT holdings. The main risks for TLTW are bearish yield curve steepening and inflation, but it offers a great opportunity at current yields due to high income and low downside risk.

TLTW: Generating 15% Yield From Treasury Bonds

The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond BuyWrite Strategy ETF offers investors long-term bond exposure with enhanced yield in exchange for limited upside potential if bond prices rise. This ETF therefore makes sense for those looking to take advantage of elevated yields but also looking to protect against further near-term declines.
