WESTPORT, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NEOS Investments, an asset management firm comprised of leaders and pioneers in the options-based ETF space, announces May monthly distribution amounts for their suite of ETFs that pursue monthly income and tax efficiency across core portfolio exposures. May 2026 Distribution Information, based on each ETFs Ex-Dividend Date:   Distribution Rate* Amount / Share (%) Amount / Share ($) Ex-Dividend Date 30-Day SEC Yield** Boosted Bitcoin High Income ETF (XBCI) 38.8.

CSHI focuses on t-bills with a small allocation to S&P 500 put option spreads, offering a 5.0% yield and low volatility. The ETF provides slightly higher income and risk than t-bills. Small losses can occur during particularly severe downturns. There have been small, temporary losses in the past, none lasted for more than a month.

The NEOS Enhanced Income 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF offers exposure to ultra-short U.S. government bonds with an option overlay strategy to enhance investors' returns. CSHI could be a good opportunity to hedge market volatility caused by macro- and geopolitical uncertainty, an unclear monetary policy path, and record tech valuation. CSHI provides a superior dividend yield among its alternatives, with the potential to generate up to a 5% return over the next 12-month investment horizon.

NEOS Enhanced Income 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF offers enhanced monthly income by combining T-Bill exposure with active S&P 500 put credit spreads. CSHI maintains at least 80% in 1-3 month T-Bills, minimizing interest rate sensitivity and providing a risk profile above cash but below equities. The ETF's 4.82% distribution rate largely tax-efficient ROC make it attractive for investors seeking enhanced cash alternatives and tax deferral.

I have favored the iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bill ETF as my primary cash park, but falling rates are eroding its yield. SGOV's yield has declined to a 30-day yield of 3.69%, with further downside expected as the Fed Funds Rate trends lower, possibly below 3% by mid-2026. Enhanced yield options, such as the NEOS Enhanced Income 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF, now merit consideration, offering a 4.82% yield with less volatility than other enhanced funds.

The year is 2026, and the market (and macro) environment seem to be exactly the opposite of what is required for stress-free income. For prudent income investors, considering taking some risk off the table might be a good idea. But in most cases it comes at the cost of reduced income potential.
