The dynamic, volatility-managed ETF solution
Unlock the potential for higher, more reliable monthly income with TrueShares S&P Autocallable Income ETFs (PAYH and PAYM)
For decades, the bedrock of a successful retirement portfolio has been a steady income stream. However, reliable, attractive income has become challenging to find, as traditional sources like investment-grade bonds have been challenged by low interest rates.
PAYH and PAYM are single-ticker solutions, pursuing high or moderate income respectively, that package the income strategies institutions, financial advisors, and retail investors have traditionally utilized in a structured product format into an ETF wrapper—enabling them to be more affordable, accessible and liquid.

The Autocallable Note
PAYH and PAYM invest in a diversified portfolio of autocallable notes, which are equity market-linked investments designed to provide regular income and return principal at a set maturity date or earlier - provided the reference index stays above a pre-set barrier.
Each ETF is reverse engineered to target high or moderate income by assembling a portfolio of autocallables, each with its own set of maturity, coupon, and barrier levels for increased diversification and seeking higher yield potential than traditional income sources.
ETFs that React to Market Conditions
Today’s market volatility requires more than just a ladder of securities. PAYH and PAYM both have several layers of support built in to defend your investment.
Dynamic Reference Index
The reference indices for PAYH and PAYM dynamically adjust exposure to equities based on market volatility conditions up to seven times daily — allowing for a faster reaction to market moves if volatility is spiking or contracting.
During calm or typical market environments, the reference index increases exposure.
During volatile market periods, the reference index reduces exposure.
Dialing up exposure in calm markets and dialing down exposure in times of volatility, allows the ETF to seek an income goal with less potential risk. The autocall feature allows for income to be realized faster in up markets while in down markets, adding autocallable notes or rolling strikes are meant to increase diversification – lowering leverage and still aiming for an attractive yield.
The Always-On Hedge
All autocallables are equity market linked. That’s why both PAYH and PAYM contain a dynamically calibrated, always-on hedge to help reduce the potential effect of drawdowns on a diversified portfolio of autocallables during severe, rapid equity market selloff.
The funds dedicate a modest portion (typically 1-3%) of their potential income to purchase option-based hedges to partially offset this equity risk, additionally dampening overall volatility.
