Fund Overview
This ETF exclusively holds shares of Constellation Software and uses a covered call strategy to produce higher monthly income than holding the traditional shares.
Why invest in CSUC?
Easier Access to CSU
CSUC removes the high per share price barrier to owning CSU, allowing investors to gain fractional exposure starting from an initial $10 NAV. This makes it easier to include CSU in portfolios of any size, including registered accounts.
A New Source of Monthly Income
Historically, CSU could not be used to generate covered call income. CSUC unlocks that opportunity by writing covered calls through Ninepoint’s OTC options desk, creating a new potential source of monthly cash flow while still maintaining exposure to CSU’s long term growth.
Unlevered Structure
CSUC does not use leverage, helping reduce complexity and risk compared to many income focused ETFs. Investors gain access to a covered call strategy in a straightforward structure with a low 0.29% management fee.
Tax Efficient Income
Covered call distributions provide income that differs from traditional dividends. This flexibility may be useful, for example, in retirement where managing different types of income may help support tax efficiency and government benefit planning.
