Description: FTHI BuyWrite Income January 15, 2026
First Trust BuyWrite Income ETF (FTHI) seeks monthly income by holding U.S. equities and systematically selling (writing) S&P 500 index call options; the premium collected from those options is intended to supplement cash flow to shareholders.
As of the latest filing, the fund carries an expense ratio of 0.70%, manages roughly $300 million in assets, and has delivered a 12-month distribution yield near 7.5%, which is markedly higher than the average dividend yield of broad-market ETFs (≈1.8%).
The strategy’s performance is highly sensitive to two macro-drivers: (1) equity market volatility, measured by the VIX, which inflates option premiums, and (2) the prevailing interest-rate environment, which influences the cost-of-carry for covered-call positions; a sustained rise in rates could compress option premium income.
For a deeper, data-driven breakdown of FTHI’s risk-adjusted returns and scenario analysis, you might find ValueRay’s analytics platform worth a quick look.
