4 claims · each scored for market impact
QDTE's 0DTE covered call strategy limits upside participation in the Nasdaq-100, leading it to underperform the QQQ index year-to-date (9.66% vs 11.27% adjusted return). — Directly undermines the value proposition of the fund for growth-seeking investors and suggests a performance drag compared to simple index tracking.
