ABOUT THIS FUND
IFLR blends international developed equity exposure with a structured options framework designed to limit the impact of deep market declines. The equity sleeve invests in large- and mid-cap companies from developed markets outside the United States, using an optimized sampling process to mirror the sector, geographic, and risk characteristics of its reference index without holding every constituent. To reduce losses, the fund builds four staggered one-year put option positions, each with a strike set at roughly 90% of the index level at initiation, creating quarterly-resetting floors that seek to cap losses at about 10% at each contracts expiration. These puts are financed by selling short-term call options that renew roughly every week, generating premium income but limiting upside beyond each calls strike. By laddering both its purchased puts and written calls, the strategy aims to provide more continuous downside protection across market cycles while maintaining participation in a portion of equity gains.
