Running DLS covered calls helps you generate consistent income from WisdomTree International SmallCap Dividend Fund's shares you already own, turning a long stock position into a yield-producing asset. A covered call on WisdomTree International SmallCap Dividend Fund involves holding the underlying stock and selling a call option against it, collecting premium in exchange for capping upside at the strike price. Use our scanner to find the best DLS covered calls in real time and filter for the strikes, expiries, and premiums that fit your strategy.

A covered call is one of the most widely used options strategies because it pairs limited risk with a clear income profile: if DLS stays below the strike at expiration, you keep the premium and the shares; if it rises above, you deliver the stock at the strike and still pocket the premium. Selling DLS covered calls works best when implied volatility is elevated, since richer premiums improve the risk-reward. Key inputs to evaluate include strike selection relative to delta, days to expiration, annualized return, and the probability of assignment — all of which determine whether a given WisdomTree International SmallCap Dividend Fund covered call is worth writing.

Under normal circumstances, at least 95% of the fund's total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in component securities of the index and investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the economic characteristics of such component securities. The index is comprised of the small-capitalization segment of the dividend-paying market in the industrialized world outside the U.S. and Canada. The fund is non-diversified.

Income-focused investors, long-term DLS holders, and systematic premium sellers all face the same challenge: finding the covered call strike and expiry that balances yield against the risk of being called away. Our scanner ranks covered calls by annualized return, downside protection, and probability of profit, so selling DLS covered calls becomes a measured decision instead of a guess.
