Method

A synthetic fund holds Treasuries and options rather than the shares themselves, so it takes the option premium without owning what it writes on. ETFIQ measures 95 of them, of which 91 publish net assets. Across the funds listed here the cash paid over the last year runs from 32.4% to 93.7%. Size is not a measure of anything a fund did. It is where the money is. The ranking is the published field sorted, nothing else: no scoring, no weighting and no view on any fund. Every fund ETFIQ covers in this category is eligible, including funds that have closed, because leaving them out would flatter the category.
