The IncomeShares S&P500 Options ETP is a sophisticated investment instrument, first introduced to www.asadkarim.co.uk by a good friend

https://www.londonstockexchange.com/stock/SPYO/leverage-shares/company-page

The Investment Strategy seeks to generate monthly income by selling each day put options on
the S&P500 Index or the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust with a daily option expiry and paying a return on the cash held. The ETP Securities aim to harvest yields, while retaining upside exposure to up to the
options’ strike price. As Gary Jones will explain, this investment is classed as a complex financial instrument. These types of investments carry higher risks and can be more difficult to understand. They are intended for experienced investors who have a good understanding of how these investments work.
