Investors using covered call strategies, which buy stocks and sell call options, face a critical trade-off: Selling call options in exchange for premiums provides an attractive source of income but caps appreciation potential.
Tune in to hear about a covered call strategy based on daily call options. This strategy seeks to improve this trade-off, allowing the fund to seek high income, target S&P 500 returns over the long term, and potentially capture returns traditional covered call strategies may sacrifice.
ProShares is excited to announce the upcoming launch* of ISPY—ProShares S&P 500 High Income ETF. Traditional covered call strategies typically rely on monthly options, generating income but potentially sacrificing returns. ISPY is the first ETF powered by a daily call options strategy, targeting both high income and S&P 500 returns over the long term.
*ISPY is expected to be available on December 20.
While a surge in bond yields has interrupted the equity rally from the first half of 2023, the performance gap between the largest companies by market capitalization and the rest of the market remains wide. Valuation has become a focal point for investors. Earnings are expected to grow again at a rate above historical average despite three consecutive quarters of declines. Investors may want to consider quality at a discount with the equal-weighted S&P 500® Dividend Aristocrats.®
Join VettaFi’s Head of Research Todd Rosenbluth and ProShares’ Head of Investment Strategy Simeon Hyman in a conversation about the headwinds facing the banking sector and how to manage the risks in your clients’ portfolios.
It’s been a year of outperformance for dividend growth strategies – which likely comes as no surprise to investors who consider dividend growth to be a defensive strategy. Indeed, the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats have outperformed the broader S&P 500 in the challenging first three quarters of 2022. But those S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats have also outperformed in the quarter-to-date rally.
Interest rates have risen substantially. With Quantitative Tightening in high gear, rates could rise even further. While market volatility has led to some investors moving to the sidelines, the sidelines may not always be the best choice. Join our webcast with ProShares investment strategists. We will discuss what’s next for inflation and rising interest rates, and review strategies to help you prepare your stocks and bonds.
Oil prices have retreated, and measures of inflation expectations have declined. That’s the good news. The bad news? A key indicator of moderating inflation is a growing expectation that global economic conditions will weaken, and the odds seem to show the chance of a recession on the rise.

Join our exclusive webcast for actionable insights to help you get your portfolio ready for rising rates. ProShares investment strategists will discuss how interest rate hedged bond strategies work and where to find equity investment opportunities.

The three-decade bull market in bonds may finally be over. Since the start of this year, the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond has risen 70 basis points. Since its low in August of last year, it has risen 111 basis points. The fear of inflation has been a key driver, fueled by a rapidly rising federal deficit and stimulus checks that will soon be in the wallets of American consumers. Here to discuss what that means for advisors and more importantly for your clients’ portfolios is Simeon Hyman of ProShares.

How will markets react to a Democratic sweep? A Republican resurgence? A contested result? In an already tumultuous year, a presidential election adds another layer of uncertainty, and typically, volatility rises in the months leading up to voting day. This year, with a pandemic in full swing, unemployment historically high, and economic growth at a standstill, the stakes are especially high. The two candidates have vastly different visions about the role of government, tax law, trade, and regulation, which may affect market performance going forward.
To help investors prepare, we asked Stephen Gallagher, the U.S. chief economist and head of research at Societe Generale to join us to discuss:
As Mark Twain once said, history never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme. The House vote to impeach President Trump coming in mid-December of 2019 certainly feels like a couplet with the Clinton impeachment, which occurred in mid-December 21 years ago. Indeed, there are similarities, but also key distinctions.
Sweeping changes in demographics, consumer behavior and technology have created an ever-increasing need for global infrastructure development. In fact, it’s estimated that over $91 trillion must be spent on global infrastructure by 2040. And just to keep pace with projected growth, global spending on roads needs to reach $900 billion per year.
