Question asked

Does MM like Covered call ETF’s?

What is MM view on covered call ETF AYLD with GlobalX and are at call etfs really worthwhile for cash holdings (AAA & BILL) pending reinvestment? I note AAA went ex .12985709 divi (not franked) which only equates to 1.55%pa currently and that's before taking into account brokerage and buy/sell spread. I thought the bank savings account rates on offer were bad!

Answer

Hi Marvin,

We did have the guys from GlobalX in to introduce this ETF to us a couple of weeks ago, with a good mate their head of strategy. We think their products are good   and we used them, however the covered call ETF AYLD has only been trading for a few weeks hence I would rather stand back and see how it goes before considering an investment but with the VIX pretty low at the moment the “buy/write index” is not as exciting as it has been in the past.

As for cash holdings, a good place to compare is on the finder website: https://www.finder.com.au/bank-interest-rates#savings
