The Long and Short of It

Other notables include HVPW (ALPS U.S. Equity High Volatility Put Write Index, Expense Ratio 0.95%), which may appeal currently especially since there seems to be an appetite to sell puts right now in the marketplace in select individual equity names. AGLS (AdvisorShares Accuvest Global Long Short, Expense Ratio 1.50%), HSPX (Horizons S&P 500 Covered Calls, Expense Ratio 0.65%), HFIN (Horizons S&P Financial Select Sector Covered Call, Expense Ratio 0.70%), and VEGA (AdvisorShares STAR Global Buy-Write, Expense Ratio 2.01%) also come to mind and are among the larger of the funds in the category below CSM, PBP, and RALS.

This category, as we mentioned previously, has a number of very, very small entrants with anywhere from only $1.2 million to $5 million in current assets under management, so there is clearly room, and need for growth here in terms of all of these funds potentially surviving.
