BUYW: Stellar Short-Term Performance May Not Be Repeatable

Main Buywrite ETF opportunistically writes call options on a basket of various ETFs the manager deems to be attractive. BUYW ETF has outperformed in the short term due to a stellar 2022, when the fund avoided losses. However, it is unclear how this performance was achieved. Overall, if we exclude the 2022 performance, the BUYW is a middle-of-the-pack buywrite fund that charges a high expense ratio. I am not confident the 2022 performance is repeatable.
