The Aptus Collared Income Opportunity ETF (ACIO) is an actively managed U.S.-listed ETF that primarily invests in U.S. equity securities across all market capitalizations while employing an options collar strategy on the same underlying equities, U.S. equity ETFs, or U.S. equity indices. A collar strategy involves simultaneously holding long stock, writing (selling) call options, and buying put options to limit both upside and downside movements. The fund may write call options on up to 100% of each equity holding and uses a portion of the premium received from selling those calls to fund the purchase of protective put options.
The ETF is classified under the Equity Hedged category, a group of funds designed to mitigate market risk through derivatives such as options or short positions. Listed on the BATS exchange and based in the U.S., ACIO launched in July 2019 and is categorized as a mid-cap fund with approximately $2.4 billion in assets. Active management distinguishes it from passive index-tracking ETFs, allowing the portfolio managers flexibility in security selection and options implementation.
