Financial journalist opinion

ACIO: Sophisticated Buy-Write ETF Lagging Some Competitors

Aptus Collared Investment Opportunity ETF has a covered call portfolio in U.S. equities, combined with bear put spreads on the S&P 500 Index for downside protection. ACIO's Sharpe ratio is similar to the S&P 500's since inception, and its low current yield is unattractive for income-seeking investors. Compared to peers, ACIO has outperformed JEPI, but WTPI and DIVO are more attractive based on benefit/risk, yields and fees.

ACIO: Doing Its Job In A Tough Equity Market (Rating Downgrade)

The Aptus Collared Investment Opportunity ETF mirrors the S&P 500's total return but with significantly lower drawdowns, making it a robust 'Hold' for conservative equity exposure. ACIO aims to capture 65% of the S&P 500's upside while limiting the downside to 50%, using a basket of options to achieve this. In 2025, ACIO had a maximum drawdown of -12% compared to the S&P 500's -20%, demonstrating its effectiveness in buffering against market downturns.

ACIO: An ETF I Like Over JEPI, And The 1 Reason I Don't Own It

ACIO's unique strategy of combining a core stock basket, covered calls, and put options provides robust downside protection, making it a standout ETF. Transparency in ACIO's holdings and strategy contrasts sharply with JEPI's opaque equity-linked notes, enhancing investor confidence in understanding risk. But I don't own ACIO because my own self-driven active investment process is similar enough in some aspects that make owning it redundant for me.
