VegaShares SPX NDX RTY Premium Income ETF (ODTE) Covered Calls

Running ODTE covered calls helps you generate income from VegaShares SPX NDX RTY Premium Income ETF shares you already own, turning a long stock position into a yield producing asset. A covered call means holding the underlying stock and selling a call option against it, collecting premium in exchange for capping upside at the strike. Use our scanner to find the best ODTE covered calls in real time and filter for the strikes, expiries, and premiums that fit your strategy.

A covered call pairs limited risk with a clear income profile. If ODTE 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 ODTE covered calls works best when implied volatility is elevated, since richer premiums improve the risk reward. Key inputs include strike selection relative to delta, days to expiration, annualized return, and probability of assignment, all of which determine whether a given ODTE covered call is worth writing.

ODTE actively purses a covered call strategy using the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100 and Russell 2000 Indexes. The investment strategy utilizes a quantitative framework to actively adjust allocations and covered call exposure across the three indexes based on market volatility, liquidity and expected returns. Long exposure to the indexes is achieved either through direct investments, index-tracking ETFs, or synthetic positions created with deep in-the-money call options. The fund sells short-term, zero or one day-to-expiration, out-of-the-money index call options to collect premiums and distribute weekly income.
