Key stats

JEPI curates its portfolio by selecting stocks from the S&P 500 Index using a process to identify value stocks with favorable risk/return characteristics along with ESG considerations. After selecting and ranking the securities, the final portfolio looks to hold those securities with lower volatility relative to the benchmark index. In addition, the funds adviser enters equity-linked notes to provide the returns of the S&P 500 Index with covered call options written. The objective is to provide the same return as the S&P 500 Index with lower volatility over a 3-5-year period combined with monthly income. Investors are subjected to counterparty risk in the use of equity-linked notes (ELNs). The fund may also underperform in a rapidly rising US equity market due to the call options written.
