ATRAM Launches Nasdaq Fund That Lets Filipinos Earn Monthly Income from Tech Stocks

Earning monthly income while staying invested in global tech? That is the idea behind this new fund 👀📈

ATRAM just launched a Nasdaq Equity Income Fund that gives you exposure to companies driving today’s biggest innovations while generating potential monthly income. Instead of relying only on stock price gains, this strategy earns from market movements itself.

If you have been looking for a smarter way to stay invested through market ups and downs, this might be worth a closer look 👇

For many investors, whether you are just starting out or already experienced, one question often comes up: how do you stay invested in high-growth markets like tech while managing risk and generating income along the way?

That is where ATRAM Trust Corporation introduces the ATRAM Nasdaq Equity Income Feeder Fund. It is designed to give Filipino investors exposure to global innovation while providing a potential source of monthly income, a combination that has become increasingly relevant in today’s market environment.

A Different Way to Invest in Nasdaq

The fund provides exposure to the Nasdaq-100 Index, home to some of the world’s most influential companies, including what many refer to as the Magnificent 7. These are firms driving innovation across AI, cloud, and digital platforms, making Nasdaq a strong reflection of where the future economy is heading.

Instead of relying purely on stock price appreciation, the fund uses a strategy that turns market behavior into income.

Turning Volatility Into Potential Income

At the core of the strategy is a covered call approach, executed through the target fund managed by J.P. Morgan Asset Management.

In simple terms, the fund sells call options on the Nasdaq-100 Index, often compared to selling insurance, where investors earn premiums in exchange for taking on certain market trade-offs. These premiums form a potential source of recurring income.

This is where volatility plays a role.

Higher volatility can lead to higher option premiums, which may increase income potential. Rather than avoiding market swings, the strategy aims to monetize them, while the income generated may help cushion the impact of market movements. However, investors should also note that upside gains may be moderated during strong market rallies.

“As the world’s largest active ETF provider, covered call strategies have been a cornerstone of our ETF product suite with robust interest across markets. We are excited to partner with ATRAM to bring this innovative solution to Philippine investors in a feeder fund format, addressing their needs for income while offering a smoother equity investment experience,” said Ayaz Ebrahim, CEO of Singapore and South East Asia at J.P. Morgan Asset Management.

Why This Matters for Filipino Investors

Markets today are shaped by everything from geopolitics to AI spending and even oil prices which can create both risks and opportunities for investors.

“Investors today are no longer choosing between growth and income—they want both,” said Miguel Liboro, Head of Products at ATRAM Trust Corporation. “This Fund allows investors to stay invested in the Nasdaq while generating income from market movements. By converting volatility to cash flow, it helps investors remain invested across market cycles.”

The fund is structured as a feeder fund, making it accessible to local investors, with availability in both PHP and USD and designed for long-term participation rather than short-term timing.

It also reinforces a key investing principle: it is not about timing the market, but the time in the market.

Who Is This Fund For?

This fund is designed to cater to a wide range of investors:

• Beginners looking for exposure to global tech without actively trading
• Passive investors who want potential monthly income while staying invested
• Moderate to aggressive investors seeking growth with income as a possible buffer
• Seasoned investors who understand options strategies and want to monetize volatility

Through platforms like Atram Prime, investors can access a globally managed strategy while keeping their investments locally convenient.
