YieldMax XYZ Option Income Strategy ETF

Frequently Asked Questions About XYZY

What does XYZY invest in?

The YieldMax XYZ Option Income Strategy ETF (XYZY) is a dynamically managed exchange-traded fund whose primary aim is to generate regular, weekly income. It achieves this by implementing an options-based strategy, specifically through the sale of call options or call spreads linked to the underlying shares of XYZ. This approach is structured to capture income from option premiums while also offering investors some exposure to any potential appreciation in XYZ's stock price.

What is the expense ratio of XYZY?

YieldMax XYZ Option Income Strategy ETF (XYZY) charges an expense ratio of 1.36%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations.

What is XYZY's distribution yield?

XYZY's trailing-twelve-month yield is 78.32%, calculated from the sum of distributions over the past year divided by the current price. A rate this high reflects large option-premium distributions against a NAV that has declined over the same period — part of each payout may be return of capital rather than earned income.

How does XYZY's covered-call strategy work?

XYZY 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 XYZY?

YieldMax XYZ Option Income Strategy ETF (XYZY) manages $36.5M in total assets. AUM determines bid-ask liquidity and the fund's vulnerability to closure — funds below ~$50M are at higher risk of liquidation.

Is XYZY actively managed or an index fund?

XYZY's management style is described in the fund's prospectus. See the description on the Summary tab for the published strategy.
