BMO US Put Write ETF (US Dollar Units) - ZPW.U

ETF Overview

This is the US Dollar version of ZPW.

The fund has been designed to deliver an alternative income exposure by writing put options on an underlying portfolio of U.S. large cap equities.

The ETF writes short-dated out-of-the-money put options by analyzing the available option premiums, while investing the portfolio in cash equivalents.

The ETF may be subject to a loss if the stock prices decline significantly over the option period.

The fund trades in U.S. dollars on the TSX.
