I expect that the prospectus has the standard caveat that nothing is guaranteed and the standard mantra "that if it's too good to be true, then it's probably not real."If I told you, you could buy the S&P500 and get a guaranteed yield of 11-12% per year (less tax, if any), it's not a bad deal
In particular the insurance industry practice of including return of principal as part of their yield calculation seems misleading at best; especially when applied to these yield-focused options contracts in the investment industry (I get that "insurance is dodgy, so buyer beware"). Total return is net capital appreciation and distributions, not including return of original principal.
