Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Explanation of Fund Performance

The Gateway Equity Call Premium Fund (the Fund) invests in a diversified US equity portfolio to track the S&P 500® Index and writes index call options against its full equity value. Over time, the Fund seeks total return with less risk than U.S. equity markets. Steady cash flow from index call option writing is important to the Fund’s return. The Fund’s written index call options often resemble characteristics to the single index call options present in the Cboe S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (the “BXM℠”). Unlike the passive BXM℠, the Fund uses an active strategy, diversifying expiration dates and strike prices across a portfolio of index call options.

 

Top Contributors to Performance

•The Fund's equity portfolio added to return during 2025.

•Active index option management enhanced cash flow by taking advantage of normalized interest rates and volatility. Premiums supported equity market participation and offered loss mitigation.

•The risk of the Fund, as measured by its standard deviation of daily returns, was well below that of the S&P 500® Index during 2025.

 

Top Detractors from Performance

•Written index call option positions detracted from return in 2025, as expected during periods of above-average market advance.

 

Investment Activity

The investment team actively managed the Fund’s index call option portfolio with a focus on weighted-average strike price and time to expiration. Adjustments were made to monetize heightened volatility levels and enhance cash flow while maintaining typical market exposure and risk. The Fund’s diversified and active index option writing approach generated risk-reducing cash flow, mitigating losses during market declines and supporting participation during advances.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Explanation of Fund Performance

The Gateway Equity Call Premium Fund (the Fund) invests in a diversified US equity portfolio to track the S&P 500® Index and writes index call options against its full equity value. Over time, the Fund seeks total return with less risk than U.S. equity markets. Steady cash flow from index call option writing is important to the Fund’s return. The Fund’s written index call options often resemble characteristics to the single index call options present in the Cboe S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (the “BXM℠”). Unlike the passive BXM℠, the Fund uses an active strategy, diversifying expiration dates and strike prices across a portfolio of index call options.

 

Top Contributors to Performance

•The Fund's equity portfolio added to return during 2025.

•Active index option management enhanced cash flow by taking advantage of normalized interest rates and volatility. Premiums supported equity market participation and offered loss mitigation.

•The risk of the Fund, as measured by its standard deviation of daily returns, was well below that of the S&P 500® Index during 2025.

 

Top Detractors from Performance

•Written index call option positions detracted from return in 2025, as expected during periods of above-average market advance.

 

Investment Activity

The investment team actively managed the Fund’s index call option portfolio with a focus on weighted-average strike price and time to expiration. Adjustments were made to monetize heightened volatility levels and enhance cash flow while maintaining typical market exposure and risk. The Fund’s diversified and active index option writing approach generated risk-reducing cash flow, mitigating losses during market declines and supporting participation during advances.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Explanation of Fund Performance

The Gateway Equity Call Premium Fund (the Fund) invests in a diversified US equity portfolio to track the S&P 500® Index and writes index call options against its full equity value. Over time, the Fund seeks total return with less risk than U.S. equity markets. Steady cash flow from index call option writing is important to the Fund’s return. The Fund’s written index call options often resemble characteristics to the single index call options present in the Cboe S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (the “BXM℠”). Unlike the passive BXM℠, the Fund uses an active strategy, diversifying expiration dates and strike prices across a portfolio of index call options.

 

Top Contributors to Performance

•The Fund's equity portfolio added to return during 2025.

•Active index option management enhanced cash flow by taking advantage of normalized interest rates and volatility. Premiums supported equity market participation and offered loss mitigation.

•The risk of the Fund, as measured by its standard deviation of daily returns, was well below that of the S&P 500® Index during 2025.

 

Top Detractors from Performance

•Written index call option positions detracted from return in 2025, as expected during periods of above-average market advance.

 

Investment Activity

The investment team actively managed the Fund’s index call option portfolio with a focus on weighted-average strike price and time to expiration. Adjustments were made to monetize heightened volatility levels and enhance cash flow while maintaining typical market exposure and risk. The Fund’s diversified and active index option writing approach generated risk-reducing cash flow, mitigating losses during market declines and supporting participation during advances.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Explanation of Fund Performance

The Gateway Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of US equities to track the S&P 500® Index. It sells index call options against the full underlying equity portfolio then uses some of the cash flow to buy protective index put options. The net premium-to-earn significantly influences the Fund’s market participation. Over time, the Fund seeks to capture a majority of the returns associated with equity market investments, while exposing investors to less risk than other equity investments.

 

Top Contributors to Performance

•The Fund's equity portfolio positively contributed to return during 2025.

•Active index option management enhanced cash flow by taking advantage of normalized interest rates and volatility. Premiums supported equity market participation and offered loss mitigation.

•The risk of the Fund, as measured by its standard deviation of daily returns, was well below that of the S&P 500® Index during 2025.

 

Top Detractors from Performance

•Written index call option and purchased index put option positions detracted from return in 2025, as expected during periods of above-average market advance.

 

Investment Activity

The investment team actively managed the index option portfolios, focusing on the weighted-average strike price and time to expiration. In March and April, as the market selloff intensified, the team reduced index put option coverage to monetize higher volatility. As the market recovered, the team gradually restored index put option coverage in May. Adjustments in 2025 aimed to enhance cash flow and maintain typical market exposure and risk levels.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Explanation of Fund Performance

The Gateway Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of US equities to track the S&P 500® Index. It sells index call options against the full underlying equity portfolio then uses some of the cash flow to buy protective index put options. The net premium-to-earn significantly influences the Fund’s market participation. Over time, the Fund seeks to capture a majority of the returns associated with equity market investments, while exposing investors to less risk than other equity investments.

 

Top Contributors to Performance

•The Fund's equity portfolio positively contributed to return during 2025.

•Active index option management enhanced cash flow by taking advantage of normalized interest rates and volatility. Premiums supported equity market participation and offered loss mitigation.

•The risk of the Fund, as measured by its standard deviation of daily returns, was well below that of the S&P 500® Index during 2025.

 

Top Detractors from Performance

•Written index call option and purchased index put option positions detracted from return in 2025, as expected during periods of above-average market advance.

 

Investment Activity

The investment team actively managed the index option portfolios, focusing on the weighted-average strike price and time to expiration. In March and April, as the market selloff intensified, the team reduced index put option coverage to monetize higher volatility. As the market recovered, the team gradually restored index put option coverage in May. Adjustments in 2025 aimed to enhance cash flow and maintain typical market exposure and risk levels.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Explanation of Fund Performance

The Gateway Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of US equities to track the S&P 500® Index. It sells index call options against the full underlying equity portfolio then uses some of the cash flow to buy protective index put options. The net premium-to-earn significantly influences the Fund’s market participation. Over time, the Fund seeks to capture a majority of the returns associated with equity market investments, while exposing investors to less risk than other equity investments.

 

Top Contributors to Performance

•The Fund's equity portfolio positively contributed to return during 2025.

•Active index option management enhanced cash flow by taking advantage of normalized interest rates and volatility. Premiums supported equity market participation and offered loss mitigation.

•The risk of the Fund, as measured by its standard deviation of daily returns, was well below that of the S&P 500® Index during 2025.

 

Top Detractors from Performance

•Written index call option and purchased index put option positions detracted from return in 2025, as expected during periods of above-average market advance.

 

Investment Activity

The investment team actively managed the index option portfolios, focusing on the weighted-average strike price and time to expiration. In March and April, as the market selloff intensified, the team reduced index put option coverage to monetize higher volatility. As the market recovered, the team gradually restored index put option coverage in May. Adjustments in 2025 aimed to enhance cash flow and maintain typical market exposure and risk levels.
