New on Xetra: IncomeShare's ETP range of Leverage Shares provides access to US equities combined with covered call option strategies

November 15, 2024--Since Friday, 13 new exchange-traded notes issued by leverage shares have been tradable on Xetra and Börse Frankfurt.
With the new IncomeShares ETP product range, Leverage Shares offers access to option-based ETPs for the first time, which track the performance of individual US companies, US blue-chip indices and the price of gold.

As part of this investment strategy, the underlying securities are bought directly and call options are sold "out of the money" at the same time. The premiums from the sale of the options are distributed to investors on a monthly basis.

The strategies aim to maximise the income from the premiums received, while at the same time participating in part of the observed price increases of the securities. The first eleven option-based ETPs track the performance of U.S. companies Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Coinbase, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla, the U.S. blue-chip indices Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500, and the price of gold.
