Description: IWMI NEOS Russell 2000 High

IWMI is an actively-managed ETF that combines exposure to the Russell 2000® Index with a call options strategy designed to generate high monthly income. The fund invests in one or more ETFs tracking the Russell 2000, holds the underlying stocks directly, or uses a combination of both, and writes (sells) call options on the index to produce income for shareholders.

As a derivative income ETF, IWMI uses a covered call writing approach, collecting option premiums in exchange for capping potential upside gains on its small-cap U.S. equity exposure. The Russell 2000® Index is a widely followed benchmark of U.S. small-capitalization stocks maintained by FTSE Russell.

  • Russell 2000 small-cap rally lifts underlying ETF NAV
