"The Shelton Equity Income Strategy grossed 6.91% in Q3 2025, beating the BXM benchmark. It remains positioned to buffer potential volatility from impending tariff policy expirations and inflation data."
The Shelton Equity Income Strategy delivered a gross return of 6.91% in Q3 2025, outperforming its benchmark, the CBOE BuyWrite Index (BXM), which returned 3.53%. During the quarter, the broader market experienced a strong rally driven by robust corporate earnings, a 0.25% Federal Reserve interest rate cut, and ongoing momentum in the artificial intelligence sector, leading the S&P 500 to gain 8.11%. The strategy successfully generated 1.63% in cash flow from option premiums and 0.41% from dividends, bringing the year-to-date cash flow totals to 5.78% from premiums and 1.16% from dividends. Strong performers for the quarter included General Motors Co, PulteGroup Inc, Alphabet Inc, Arista Networks, and Newmont Corp, though the managers have since transitioned out of PHM and ANET. Underperformers included Fortinet Inc, Cognizant Technology, Comcast Corp, Boston Scientific Co, and Davita Inc. Notably, the managers have begun aggressively writing calls against Davita with the intention of having the stock called away. Looking forward, Shelton expects heightened volatility stemming from the expiration of the temporary tariff pause and upcoming trade/monetary policies, positioning the option overwrite strategy to buffer potential market pullbacks.
