The Kensington Hedged Premium Income ETF offers S&P 500 exposure with downside protection, targeting a 9% annualized distribution paid monthly. KHPI and QQQH employ active derivative strategies to limit downside, sacrificing some upside for insurance-like protection during volatile or declining markets. Both funds' distributions are currently classified as a return of capital, providing potential tax deferral benefits for long-term taxable investors.

The fund's downside protection proved minimal, saving less than 2% in the worst quarter since 2008, while sacrificing substantial upside.
