What if you could squeeze, say, a 70% dividend yield from a fast-growing AI stock like NVIDIA (NVDA) or Palantir (PLTR)?

Over the past three years, Tidal Financial Group released several high-yield exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with jaw-dropping yields. One of the highest-yielding ones was the YieldMax AI Option Income Strategy ETF (AIYY -0.23%), which was launched in November 2023 and currently pays a distribution rate of 100.8%.

AIYY leverages high AI sector volatility to generate outsized monthly income through aggressive covered call strategies, appealing to income-focused investors. The ETF's synthetic covered call approach caps upside gains but delivers striking yields, currently annualizing over 100%, fueled by option premiums. Risks include NAV erosion from distributions, capped participation in AI rallies, and full downside exposure—making YieldMax AI Option Income Strategy ETF unsuitable as a core holding.

High-yield investments like BDCs, MLPs, CEFs, and REITs offer substantial dividend yields, often overlooked by retail investors due to a lack of awareness. Option ETFs generate high income by writing options against equities, with some offering extreme yields, like Yieldmax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF at 113%. These funds are for income generation, not total return or capital appreciation, and require a different evaluation lens than traditional investments.

YieldMax AI Option Income Strategy ETF uses a synthetic covered call strategy to generate income but has experienced negative total returns since its inception in November 2023. The fund's performance is closely tied to C3.ai's stock, with AIYY's NAV declining due to AI's volatility. Despite distributing monthly income, AIYY's NAV has significantly decreased, and the current 100% yield is likely unsustainable due to a shrinking asset pool.
