WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Fund (EES) Wheel Strategy

Running a EES wheel strategy lets you generate consistent premium income on WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Fund while setting your own entry and exit prices on the underlying. WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Fund's wheel combines cash-secured puts and covered calls into a repeatable cycle: sell puts at strikes where you'd be happy to own EES, and if assigned, sell calls at strikes where you'd be happy to sell. Use our scanner to find the best EES wheel strategy setups in real time.

The wheel works best on liquid, high-quality names with stable fundamentals and active options markets — exactly the profile many large-cap leaders fit. The mechanics are simple: sell a cash-secured put on EES, collect premium, and either keep the premium if it expires worthless or take assignment at a discount to current price. Once assigned, sell covered calls against the shares to keep collecting premium until they're called away. Choosing the right strikes, expirations, and IV environment is what separates a profitable EES wheel from a losing one.

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 a fundamentally weighted index that is comprised of earnings-generating companies within the small-capitalization segment of the U.S. stock market. The fund is non-diversified.

The difference between a wheel that compounds and one that bleeds comes down to strike selection, IV timing, and discipline on assignment. Our scanner handles the heavy lifting: it ranks every leg of the EES wheel strategy by delta, premium yield, IV rank, and days to expiration, so you can deploy capital where the math works. Build your EES wheel strategy on data, not gut feel — and let the options wheel do what it does best: pay you to wait.
