QQHG invests in US equity securities that closely replicate Nasdaq-100 Index performance. Additionally, it employs an option overlay strategy to hedge against market declines, thus providing partial downside protection. The Index includes 100 large non-financial companies listed on Nasdaq, excluding REITs and SPACs. Unlike passive funds, QQHG doesn't fully replicate the Index. Instead, the fund uses a proprietary model, choosing a strategic selection of its components. The option strategy involves buying and selling call and put options, utilizing put spreads and collar strategies to mitigate risks. Selling call options help offset transaction costs but limits profit as the Index increases. The laddered exposure through staggered hedge periods aims to reduce volatility and downside risks, potentially underperforming in rising markets.
