Investment Objective
Goal
To seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the Cboe S&P 500 95-110 Collar Index.
Investment Approach and Strategy
Strategy: The ETF employs a collar strategy involving the purchase of S&P 500 stocks, the sale of call options, and the purchase of put options to define a range of potential returns.
Composition The ETF's primary holding is the S&P 500 stocks, with smaller allocations to call and put options used to construct the collar strategy.

Competitors
Key Competitors
- Innovator US Equity Defined Outcome ETF (BUZZ)
- Simplify US Equity PLUS Convexity ETF (SPCX)
Competitive Landscape
The competitive landscape includes other defined outcome ETFs that provide downside protection and capped upside. XCLR's advantage lies in its straightforward collar strategy tied to the S&P 500. A disadvantage is that the capped upside may underperform the S&P 500 in strongly rising markets.
Financial Performance
Historical Performance: Historical performance depends on the S&P 500 performance and option premiums. Performance can vary significantly with market conditions.
Benchmark Comparison: The ETF's performance should be compared to the Cboe S&P 500 95-110 Collar Index to assess tracking effectiveness.
Expense Ratio: 0.29
Liquidity
Average Trading Volume
The average trading volume is moderate, reflecting the niche strategy of the ETF.
Bid-Ask Spread
The bid-ask spread is generally small and is related to supply and demand, as well as the liquidity of the underlying assets.
Market Dynamics
Market Environment Factors
Market volatility, interest rates, and dividend yields affect the pricing of options and therefore influence the ETF's performance.
Growth Trajectory
The growth trajectory depends on investor interest in defined outcome strategies and the appeal of downside protection in uncertain market environments.
Moat and Competitive Advantages
Competitive Edge
XCLR offers a transparent and rules-based collar strategy that provides a degree of downside protection and capped upside. The collar strategy helps to mitigate risk, particularly during periods of market volatility. The ETF's structured approach to option implementation enhances risk management and makes it easier for investors to predict potential return profiles. Moreover, its expense ratio is competitive within the defined outcome ETF space.
Risk Analysis
Volatility
The ETF's volatility is generally lower than the S&P 500 due to the downside protection offered by the put options.
Market Risk
The ETF is exposed to market risk, as the value of the underlying S&P 500 stocks can fluctuate. The capped upside participation also limits potential gains.
Investor Profile
Ideal Investor Profile
The ideal investor is risk-averse, seeking some S&P 500 exposure, and is willing to give up some upside potential for downside protection.
Market Risk
XCLR is suitable for long-term investors who want to participate in the S&P 500 but are concerned about potential market downturns.
Summary
The Global X S&P 500 Collar 95-110 ETF offers a defined outcome strategy by implementing a collar on the S&P 500. This strategy involves purchasing S&P 500 stocks and using options to create a range of returns. While it provides downside protection, the upside is capped. Its suitability is best for investors seeking risk-managed exposure to the S&P 500 with defined return parameters, particularly those with a lower risk tolerance.
