"NDIV generates income from two sources: dividends from energy and natural resources companies and a covered call strategy that sells call options on its holdings, collecting upfront premiums."
"The fund's portfolio is concentrated with 65% in oil, gas, and consumable fuels, 22% in chemicals, and 13% in energy equipment and services, many of which are Master Limited Partnerships."
"Covered call premiums fluctuate with market volatility; when fear spikes, options become more expensive, allowing the fund to collect more income, while calm periods lead to reduced premiums."
