Description

Ray DiBernardo, Portfolio Manager of the XAI Madison Equity Premium Income fund, says that covered-call strategies have become increasingly popular of late, as investors want to goose income while reducing market risk. DiBernardo, an analyst at Madison Investments, notes that investors have been intrigued by covered-call strategies for about two decades, but the availability of more options-based strategies through the advent of ETFs has made investors more aware of how to find income-enhancement through covered calls. DiBernardo, notes that covered call strategies did well in 2022, when the overall market was struggling, which also has increased their use as a hedge against market risk with the market trading at record highs.
