The option’s returns are generated from a number of sources, including dividends, franking credits and capital returns from Australian shares, as well as option premium income.

The use of equity options in conjunction with Australian shares is expected to result in a greater proportion of the total return delivered as income and reduced volatility. In selecting Australian shares, investment opportunities are identified by detailed fundamental research.
