HANetf Product Specialist Harry Halewood joined Steve Darling from Proactive to explain how option income strategies, including covered calls, can be used to generate ongoing income while maintaining exposure to the potential returns of equity markets.

In exchange for agreeing to potentially sell the security at a predetermined strike price, the investor receives an option premium upfront. That premium can provide a source of recurring cash flow and may complement other income-generating investments. Halewood noted...
