Fund Information
BMO Covered Call Options Strategy
BMO's covered call funds write out-of-the-money calls on about 30% to 50% of each portfolio, using options that expire in one to two months. When markets get choppier, strikes are set further out-of-the-money, since higher volatility brings bigger premiums. Income comes from both dividends and option premiums, paid monthly, with no leverage. Some funds are hedged and others are unhedged.
