NUSI can serve as a complement to traditional equity and fixed income allocations or potentially as a hedge for investors with high exposure to technology and growth stocks, as the fund is a “rules-based options trading strategy that aims to produce high income using the Nasdaq index 100 ”, according to Nationwide.

NUSI: First income destination

NUSI is an actively managed portfolio of stocks included in the Nasdaq-100 index and an options necklace. In accordance with the index rules, the fund invests only in the 100 largest non-financial stocks by market capitalization listed on the NASDAQ. This tunnel strategy involves the writing or writing of call options and the purchase of put options, thereby generating income to provide hedge against certain downside risks. The strategy aims to generate a high monthly current income from the dividends received from the underlying stocks and the option premiums retained.

A covered call refers to an options strategy in which an investor writes or sells a call option on an asset that they already own or bought on a share-for-share basis in order to generate income through premiums derived from the selling call options. The covered buy strategy limits upside potential and seeks to provide limited downside protection with the purchase of a long-term put, so it is ideal for investors with a neutral to bullish outlook.

Hedged buying strategies can potentially increase a portfolio during times of heightened volatility. Covered calls allow an investor to be long in an asset while simultaneously writing or selling call options on the same asset.
