The portfolio sector weightings are intended to be similar to the S&P 500 avoiding sector concentration and portfolio drift. The number of stocks is dictated by the desire to own a minimum of 100 shares per position for efficiently matching the option contract and to manage the overall risk with a level of diversification limiting the size of any one position. Once the stocks are selected, the manager then overlays an actively managed covered option strategy in order to generate option premium and reduce overall volatility.

13. Important Notes Continued The upside potential of fully written call option positions is limited to the strike plus the premium received. Unless the position is closed, the client relinquishes any upside potential above the call strike price. The downside protection afforded by call writing is limited to the amount of the premium received. If the stock held by the client declines significantly, the only protection will be the premium received. Clients subscribing to the Optima Portfolio service should be willing to sell all of the stock under the Investment Advisory Agreement at the Strike Price. The Strike Price is the price at which a specific option contract can be exercised. The sale of stock will produce tax consequences for U.S. taxpayers. Each option transaction also produces a tax consequence. Prior to undertaking the Optima Portfolio service, you should discuss with your tax advisor how the option transactions and any sales of underlying stock will affect your tax situation. California Investment Trust does not provide tax advice. Option trading is not suitable for all investors. Prior to buying or selling an option, a person must receive a copy of Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options.
