YieldMax Universe Fund of Option Income ETFs

YMAX is an actively managed fund-of-funds that invests in shares of other YieldMax ETFs. The underlying ETFs seek to provide current income and capped gains on select securities through a synthetic covered call strategy.

YieldMax Universe Fund of Option Income ETFs offers high distribution yields, with a trailing cumulative yield of ~40.63%, and switched to weekly distributions in September 2024. The YMAX ETF primarily invests in other ETFs using options strategies, leading to high yields but also significant price volatility and risks, especially in bear markets. Despite a total return of ~24.3% in 2024, YMAX underperformed the S&P 500 Index during market downturns, raising concerns about its resilience in adverse conditions.

YMAX offers a high distribution yield of around 66%, making it attractive for income investors despite its short performance history and potential NAV decay. The fund's strategy involves diverse holdings in various YieldMax option ETFs, reducing single stock risk but limiting upside potential due to its options strategy. YMAX's tech-heavy focus can be risky, especially if the sector downturns and its high yield may have significant tax consequences.

YieldMax Launches BIGY ETF for Large-Cap Income

YieldMax Universe Fund is a diversified fund-of-funds that invests in other YieldMax call-selling ETFs, but it suffers from principal decay and high fees. YMAX's construction leads to a double-fee structure and exposure to high beta factors, causing significant NAV erosion and underperformance compared to the indices. Despite its 43% yield, YMAX's distributions are declining over time, making the high yield unsustainable and unattractive for long-term investment.

YMAX offers a high yield of 69% by investing in 24 YieldMax ETFs using covered call and credit spread strategies, but with high fees and capped upside. The fund's complex structure and synthetic positions lead to high turnover and transaction costs, impacting long-term returns and adding volatility. YMAX may suit aggressive income investors seeking high yields, but conservative investors might prefer traditional income options due to YMAX's volatility and high fees.

YieldMax's YMAX ETF offers high yields but has risks due to its complex fee structure and capped upside from covered call strategies. The fund's high turnover from synthetic exposure and call credit spreads means more transaction costs which eat into investor capital. The approximate cumulative result of YMAX's exposure to component YieldMax ETFs and monthly rebalancing is a short volatility, short dispersion product. Pros and cons discussed.

My investment strategy focuses on generating income from dividends and distributions, supplemented by writing covered calls and cash-secured puts. More broadly, I hold a mix of high-yield and dividend-growth investments, with the approach of both receiving high cash flow and seeing it grow over time as well. With my ETF approach, there are funds that fit both of these categories, some really "boring" names and then those that get more interesting in the "reaching-for-yield" category.

A Look At My 10 ETF Holdings

YieldMax ETFs, including YMAX, generate income from options strategies but cap upside gains and don't limit downside risks, making them risky for long-term income investors. YMAX's high distribution rate of 62.4% is misleading, as total returns have underperformed broader market indices like QQQ and SPY since February. The fund's reliance on options premiums makes it vulnerable to market declines, with total returns quickly falling apart during stock market drawdowns.
