YieldMax PYPL Option Income Strategy ETF

Frequently Asked Questions About PYPY

What does PYPY invest in?

PYPY aims to generate monthly income while providing exposure to the price returns of Paypal stock (PYPL), subject to a cap on potential gains. The fund utilizes a synthetic covered call strategy via standardized exchange-traded and FLEX options, which consists of three elements: i) synthetic long exposure, ii) covered call writing, and iii) US Treasurys for collateral. The synthetic long exposure seeks to replicate the price movements of PYPL by purchasing and selling at-the-money calls and puts that have one- to six-month terms. To generate income, the fund writes call options with an expiration of one month or less and a strike price of approximately 0%-15% above PYPL's current share price. This limits participation in potential gains if PYPL shares increase in value. The short put positions fully expose investors to the downside of the stock. Note: the fund does not invest directly in PYPL stocks. Thus, investors are not entitled to any PYPL dividends.

What is the expense ratio of PYPY?

YieldMax PYPL Option Income Strategy ETF (PYPY) charges an expense ratio of 1.31%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations.

What is PYPY's distribution yield?

PYPY's trailing-twelve-month yield is 60.67%, calculated from the sum of distributions over the past year divided by the current price.

How does PYPY's covered-call strategy work?

PYPY sells call options against the stocks (or index) it holds, collecting premium income that gets passed through to shareholders as distributions. The strategy generates above-market income in flat or rising markets but caps upside — when the underlying rallies past the strike, the gains above the strike go to the option buyer, not the fund.

How big is PYPY?

YieldMax PYPL Option Income Strategy ETF (PYPY) manages $11.7M in total assets. AUM determines bid-ask liquidity and the fund's vulnerability to closure — funds below ~$50M are at higher risk of liquidation.
