iShares Advantage Large Cap Income ETF(AMEX:BALI)

BALI aims to generate stable income by focusing on large-cap stocks and derivatives with comparable economic traits. To achieve its goal, the fund employs several strategies like holding long positions in US large cap equity securities, selling call options on a large cap equity index, and purchasing futures on the same index. This approach allows BALI to benefit from the growth and income potential of these established firms while mitigating potential caps on gains. BALI pursues its investment objective further by using proprietary return forecast models that integrate quantitative analysis. These models prioritize insights that offer downside protection and identify stock mispricing opportunities. This enables the fund to strategically adjust its holdings by overweighting or underweighting specific securities. BALI acknowledges that risks and discrepancies may arise from the utilization of the forecast models. As a result, no guarantee can be given regarding the success of the funds investment decisions.
