C000266724 Investment Objective and Strategy
GraniteShares YieldBOOST TopYielders ETF describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by GraniteShares ETF Trust.
Investment objective
The Funds primary investment objective is to seek current income.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks current income and pay weekly distributions. The Fund is a fund of funds, meaning that it primarily invests its assets in the shares of other ETFs, rather than in securities of individual companies. In addition, from time to time, the Fund may invest directly in the securities and financial instruments in which one or more Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs (defined below) invests. The Funds portfolio will be primarily composed of YieldBOOST ETFs, which are all affiliated ETFs advised by GraniteShares Advisors LLC (the Adviser) (each, an Underlying YieldBOOST ETF). Each of the Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs in which the Fund may invest has for objective to achieve 2 times (200%) the income generated from selling options on an Underlying Stock by selling options on leveraged exchange-traded funds designed to deliver 2 times (200%) the daily performance of the Underlying Stock (the Underlying ETF).
The Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs secondary investment objective is to gain exposure to the performance of the Underlying ETF, subject to a cap on potential investment gains. Each Underlying YieldBOOST ETF may implement a downside protection which could affect the net income level. Additional information regarding the Underlying YieldBOOST ETF is set forth below. The Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Funds investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. An investment objective is fundamental if it cannot be changed without the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares.
No Funds investment objective has been adopted as a fundamental investment policy and therefore each Funds investment objective may be changed without the consent of that Funds shareholders upon approval by the Board of Trustees (the Board) of GraniteShares ETF Trust (the Trust) and 60 days written notice to shareholders. There is no guarantee that the Funds investment strategy will be properly implemented, and an investor may lose some or all of its investment. Due to the investment strategies of the Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs, the Funds indirect exposure to gains, if any, of the share price returns of the Underlying Stocks is generally limited. However, the Fund is subject to all potential losses if the shares of the Underlying Stocks decrease in value, which may not be offset by distributions received by the Fund.
Portfolio Construction The Adviser selects the Underlying YieldBOOST ETF in which the Fund will invest by analyzing, among other things, the levels of implied volatility (a measure of the markets expectation for future price fluctuations) of the Underlying Stocks listed options prices. Implied volatility is integral to the Funds strategy, as it indicates the expected price fluctuations of a security, guiding the Advisers selection of suitable Underlying Stocks. Generally, the Adviser will seek to invest in the Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs that indirectly reference the Underlying Stocks with higher implied volatility. Higher implied volatility typically correlates with increased options premiums, allowing the Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs to potentially generate income from its portfolio of options.
The Adviser also analyzes significant upcoming events related to, where applicable, the issuers of the Underlying Stocks (e.g., earnings releases), as well as the trading volumes of such securities and their related options contracts. The Fund is generally unconstrained and therefore, the Underlying Stocks can be of any market capitalization size and represent any industry sector. The Adviser will typically select between five and fifteen Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs, although that number may change based on the Adviser analysis. As part of its risk management process, to seek to lower risk and enhance returns, where possible, the Fund will invest in Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs that provide exposure across various sectors and industries, reducing the impact of sector specific events. While the Fund intends to have exposure to multiple sectors, it may invest in Underlying YieldBOOST ETF that provide exposure to a particular sector in amounts greater than 25% of the Funds total assets when the Advisers selection process indicates that such sector exposure would be appropriate for the Fund.
The Fund will not invest more than 25% of its net assets in any particular industry as defined under the Standard Industrial Classification code. The Fund is classified as non-diversified under the 1940 Act. The Adviser will endeavor to optimize tax losses by implementing the synthetic call strategy as described below. This approach will lead to deviations from an equal allocation for the specific Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs subject to tax harvesting. Tax Loss Harvesting Strategy If a specific Underlying YieldBOOST ETF has recently incurred substantial losses, the Fund may choose to redeem (or otherwise exit) its investment in that particular ETF to seek to capitalize on tax loss harvesting (a strategy that seeks to minimize the Funds capital gains). In that case, the Adviser will use the proceeds from such redemption and directly invest them in the same derivative instruments on the same Underlying ETF(s) as that of the redeemed Underlying YieldBOOST ETF (as described in the section below Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs use of the Underlying ETF Derivatives Contracts).
This approach aims to achieve returns akin to those of the redeemed Underlying YieldBOOST ETF in which the Fund was invested. The strategy will be employed for a minimum of 31 days to adhere to applicable tax rules. Underlying YieldBOOTS ETFs Each Underlying YieldBOOST ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks to pay weekly distributions by selling put options on the Underlying ETF, which provides exposure to 2 times the daily performance of the Underlying Stock. It is expected that the implied volatility on the Underlying ETF to be twice the level of the Underlying Stocks implied volatility and selling options on the Underlying ETF to generate, over the same time horizon and for the same strike levels, twice the premium generated by selling options on the Underlying Stock.
The premium received by the Underlying YieldBOOST ETF from selling options will be distributed at least partially before the maturity of the options. This allows the Underlying YieldBOOST ETF to make distributions on a weekly basis even if the options sold have longer maturity (such as monthly maturity for instance). This approach may result in the distributions being treated fiscally as return of capital (see Distribution Risk under the section Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund). There is no guarantee that the Underlying YieldBOOST ETF will generate twice the level of premium that would be generated by selling options on the Underlying Stock. The Underlying YieldBOOST ETF is subject to the losses from the Underlying ETF. In case a Put Spread Strategy (as defined under the section Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs Use of the Underlying ETF Derivatives Contracts) is implemented, the Underlying YieldBOOST ETF may benefit from a limited downside protection against a negative price variation in the Underlying ETF.
Such protection will negatively affect the Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs overall income level. A put spread strategy with a narrow spread (the difference between the strikes of the put option sold and put option bought) may provide better protection but will have a higher negative impact on the Funds income level. A put spread strategy with a large spread will provide lower protection but may have less negative impact on the Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs income level. Each Underlying YieldBOOST ETF will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in derivatives contracts that utilize the Underlying ETF as their reference asset. For purposes of compliance with this investment policy, derivative contracts will be valued at their notional value. The Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs do not invest in the Underlying ETFs - Each Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs strategy will cap its potential gain to the premium received from selling options on the Underlying ETF, - Each Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs strategy is exposed to all potential losses if the Underlying ETFs share declines, subject to a potential downside protection if a Put Spread Strategy is used (as defined in ten next section).
The potential losses may not be offset by the premium received by the Fund, - The Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs do not invest directly in the Underlying ETFs, - Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs shareholders are not entitled to any distribution paid by Underlying ETF. Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs use of the Underlying ETF Derivatives Contracts - Put Spread Strategy: Each Underlying YieldBOOST ETF Fund enters in put spread options contracts, either directly or through swap contracts, on the Underlying ETF and for which the Underlying YieldBOOST ETF receives a net premium. A put spread consists of selling a put option contract while buying a put option contract with the same maturity but a lower strike price. The Underlying YieldBOOST ETFs protection against a potential decrease in the price of the Underlying ETF only applies if it falls below the strike price of the option contract bought by the Underlying YieldBOOST ETF.
Buying a put option contract results in a cost that negatively affects the Funds income level. It is unlikely for a put spread strategy to generate twice the level of income that would be obtained by selling options on the Underlying Stock directly. The put options contracts sold by the Underlying YieldBOOST ETF may vary in regard to their strike price from 0 to 15% above the then-current price of the Underlying ETF. The put options contracts bought by the Underlying YieldBOOST ETF has a lower strike price, ranging from 50% out-of-the-money to at-the-money. The put options sold and bought by the Underlying YieldBOOST ETF generally have 1- month or less expiration dates. - Put Write Strategy: The Underlying YieldBOOST ETF sells put options contracts, either directly or through swap contracts, on the Underlying ETF and for which it will receive a premium.
The put options contracts sold by the Underlying YieldBOOST ETF may vary in regard to their strike prices from 40% out-of-the-money to 15% in-the-money. The put options sold and bought by the Underlying YieldBOOST ETF generally have 1- month or less expiration dates. The Adviser primarily employes this put write strategy when it believes that the share price of its Underlying ETF is likely to rise significantly in the short term (e.g., following a substantial selloff or overall positive market news). Example 1 Put Write Strategy - Selling In-the-money Put Option Contract with a One-month Maturity Assume for simplicity that the Underlying ETFs shares are trading at $100.00 at the time the Underlying YieldBOOST ETF sells an in-the-money put option contract with a strike price of $105.00 and a one-month maturity.
The Underlying YieldBOOST ETF receives a $5.50 premium for selling the put option contract. Case 1: the Underlying ETFs share price increases to $105.00 before expiration. The Underlying YieldBOOST ETF would keep the $5.50 premium received. Case 2: the Underlying ETFs share price increase exceeded $105.00 before expiration. The Underlying YieldBOOST ETF would keep the $5.50 premium received but would not participate in any of the additional upside. Case 3: the Underlying ETFs share price drops ETFs share price drops to $99.50 before expiration.
