Enhanced Income Mutual Funds
For investors who need an enhanced monthly cash flow from equities.
Why invest in enhanced income funds
Our enhanced income mutual funds are a suite of innovative income-generating solutions. Most of them leverage BMO ETFs that have an option strategy overlay, while the BMO Strategic Equity Yield Fund replicates exposure to structured notes (i.e., autocallable notes) which aims to provide higher levels of cash flow and offer downside protection.
Our covered call strategies generate cash flow from option premiums received through covered call writing in addition to dividend income. They also reduce risk compared to unwritten portfolios, making them a valuable portfolio construction tool.
