Investing Opinion
Top Funds Jump 20% in One Month
In an ideal scenario for a covered call strategy, the underlying stock portfolio rises in value slowly enough that the call options expire worthless. In the worst case, stocks plunge like they did last year, wiping out any income generated from selling the option contracts. If stocks stay in a trading range and the options being written by the fund have strike prices above that range, the fund could continue to do well.
The third-best closed-end performer in November, DWS RREEF Real Estate Fund(SRQ), is making the most of a rebound in real estate investment trusts by doubling in value in the past year. The fund has built back 20% in a month on returns of 17% in ProLogis(PLD), 12% in Equity Residential(EQR), and 7.2% in Simon Property Group(SPG).
