OCBC Introduces Global Fortune Fund

OCBC launches global dividend fund which sells covered call options.

OCBC fund offers 6%-8% payout…

He said GHPF was able to generate average returns of 8% by adopting the two-pronged “buy� and “write� strategy.

Many unit trust funds, he said, purchased equities for growth and dividends.

“GHPF invests in global high dividend stocks and sells covered call options on underlying stocks for a premium to generate additional income,� he told StarBiz in an interview.

A call option gives the right to buy an underlying stock at a specific price in the future. Selling or writing call options allows a seller to earn option premium income upfront.

If the underlying stock rises above the exercise price, the call option buyer can exercise the option for a profit. Otherwise, the option will expire worthless and the option seller earns the premium.
