In this manager conversation, Sightline Wealth Management’s Warren Gerow speaks with Colin Watson, a portfolio manager at Ninepoint Partners whose background spans across equities, asset allocation and derivative-based strategies, to introduce the Ninepoint Target Income Fund. During their conversation, Watson offers an inside look at how this fund utilizes a diversified options-based strategy, known as cash-secured put selling, to offer a 6% target income distribution to unitholders without the volatility that often comes with direct investments in the broad equity markets.
Some of the specific topics Gerow and Watson address include:
- An overview of put options and why the fund utilizes cash-secured put selling
- Real-life examples of how investors can benefit from cash-secured put selling
- How the fund improves diversification and mitigates risks within its portfolio
- How European options differ from North American options
- The fund’s current portfolio exposures and typical fees
- The advantages of using cash-secured put selling over other options-based strategies
- Income generation for investors via a cash-secured put selling strategy
- Potential impacts of future rate hikes and different market environments on the fund’s returns
Throughout the conversation, Watson emphasizes the various ways the fund’s income strategy of cash-secured put selling opens the door to this tactic’s long-standing track record of offering defensive attributes. He also highlights how it provides investors with a differentiated income stream beyond traditional stocks and bonds.
