MARO: Elevated Risk Due To Bitcoin Exposure
MARO offers a massive 125% yield by harnessing MARA's volatility, but its synthetic option strategy carries high risk and caps upside potential. The ETF is best suited for aggressive income seekers, not for growth or capital preservation, due to its declining price and speculative underlying asset. Distributions are inconsistent and not tax-efficient, making MARO more appropriate for tax-advantaged accounts and those who can handle payout variability.
