The Covered Calls Advisor Portfolio had four Covered Calls positions with February 20th, 2026 options expirations and all four positions (Las Vegas Sands Corporation, NVIDIA Corporation, Sea Limitied ADR, and Universal Health Services Inc.) closed with their stock prices in-the-money.  So, their Calls expired with no remaining value and the Covered Calls were closed out by the stocks being sold at their respective strike prices on their Feb. 20th options expiration date. The return-on-investment details (in alphabetical order) for each position is as follows:
