Simplify (XV) launched the Simplify Ancorato Target 25 Distribution ETF (XV) on November 18, 2025, aiming to generate high monthly income by targeting a 25% annualized distribution. The fund seeks income primarily by selling barrier put options on individual stocks and, optionally, on the worst-of performance of multi-stock baskets, with barriers dynamically adjusted to support the 25% target. XV is sub-advised by Ancorato Capital and joins Simplify's existing barrier income lineup, which the firm positions as a liquid ETF alternative to traditional structured notes that removes bank credit risk and uses seamless rollovers for continuous liquidity.
Simplify Asset Management has launched two new ETFs focused on generating monthly income through barrier put options: the Simplify Barrier Income ETF (SBAR) and the Simplify Target 15 Distribution ETF (XV).
Both funds sell barrier put options based on the worst-performing of three equity index ETFs tracking US large cap, small cap, and growth stocks. The options are only exposed to downside risk if the worst-performing reference ETF falls below the barrier at expiration. The funds maintain a laddered portfolio of options that are continuously rolled.
SBAR utilizes 30-barrier put options to generate monthly income at levels higher than traditional fixed income products. XV targets a 15% annualized distribution rate paid monthly, with barriers adjusted to maintain this target. Both funds offer investors defined risk parameters and serve as differentiated income sources compared to conventional fixed income or volatility selling strategies.
