Description: The utilities sector is extremely attractive for defensive and income-oriented investors. Electric utilities providers, telecom companies, and oil & gas pipeline operators all have huge scale, significant barriers to entry, and near-monopolies in their markets. By holding a portfolio diversified by sector and geography and applying a covered call strategy this ETF maximizes the defensiveness and income potential of utilities.
