About Global X Funds Global X S&P 500 Quality Dividend Covered Call ETF

QDCC aims to provide growth potential and yield by combining long positions in the Global X S&P 500 Quality Dividend ETF (QDIV) with short-covered call options, in equal notional amounts. QDIV is an equally weighted ETF that fundamentally selects the top 200 S&P stocks exhibiting high quality and dividend yield characteristics. The fund maintains a theoretical portfolio of stocks from the reference index, while also writing a succession of one-month, at-the-money FLEX call options on each share. These call options represent 100% of the portfolio value and are held until expiration, either expiring or settling in cash. Additionally, these contracts are collateralized by the equity portfolio. While this strategy potentially generates income through the options premium, it does place a drag on the appreciation potential. The index undergoes reconstitution and rebalancing semiannually, occurring on the third Friday of June and December.
