A more capital-efficient evolution of the Wheel.
ACCI is MIKA's proprietary approach to the Wheel's income-and-participation objective. It uses capital more efficiently to support larger initial positions than a fully cash-secured Wheel for the same allocation, while preserving equity participation beyond the traditional covered-call ceiling. Position capacity remains subject to account constraints and risk limits.
Open strategy resultsThe traditional Wheel reserves the full share-purchase amount at entry. ACCI's capital-efficient structure can support a larger initial position from the same capital allocation. Greater capacity also means greater potential exposure and loss.
A traditional Wheel's covered call limits upside when shares are called away. ACCI's equity-participation phase avoids that same ceiling, leaving room to participate in larger advances. Actual participation depends on market conditions and strategy management.
Capital efficiency creates room for capital to work beyond the core position. The current framework uses BOXX for residual capital, consistent with MIKA's broader allocation philosophy.
A date-matched quantitative research view across today's MIKA Shortlist + Watchlist companies with complete matched strategy histories, compared with their Buy & Hold results and QQQ. The cohort reflects current classification, not reconstructed point-in-time membership. These are modeled research results, not the MIKA Active Portfolio or a customer account.
This chart uses the existing research-universe comparison, normalized using average deployed capital and including a modeled BOXX allocation. It is not a live account return. The standard backtest excludes option fees, slippage beyond midpoint, taxes and dividends.
The Wheel offers a familiar way to seek income around a company an investor wants to own. Its trade-offs are substantial capital commitment and a ceiling on upside during the covered-call phase. ACCI is designed to improve that capital trade-off and preserve room for equity participation within one systematic framework.
ACCI is intended for investors who have chosen a company and want a systematic way to combine an income objective with equity participation. The investment case remains central to the decision.
Committing less capital per unit of initial exposure can create greater position capacity than a fully cash-secured Wheel. The user chooses the allocation; available capital, account permissions and risk limits constrain the position.
The traditional covered-call trade-off exchanges some upside for premium. ACCI's equity-participation phase is designed to preserve participation beyond that ceiling, rather than require the same capped shareholding outcome.
MIKA evaluates the combined position through a consistent review process. The focus is the relationship between income, participation, capital use and risk across the strategy, rather than any single premium payment.
As with DMSE, capital efficiency is part of MIKA's allocation philosophy. Capital that is not committed to the core position can support another return source. The current ACCI framework models this allocation through BOXX.
Premium is only one part of the result. ACCI should be evaluated on total return, drawdown and capital use over time. The aim is a repeatable investment process; neither income nor improved returns are guaranteed.

Strategy deployment is a separate service from research membership and remains subject to availability, account permissions and execution controls.
