ULTY: How YieldMax Reduced NAV Erosion While Sustaining 80%+ Yields

YieldMax Ultra Option Income Strategy ETF has improved performance after a strategic shift, stabilizing NAV and maintaining an 87%+ yield. ULTY now employs diverse option strategies, including collars and put spreads, and actively rotates high-volatility underlying assets for income generation. While ULTY offers high yields, it carries significant risk, is untested in down markets, and should only be used as a small allocation for income enhancement.

ULTY: 100%+ Yield That Has To Be Ignored

The YieldMax Ultra Option Income Strategy ETF offers extremely high yields through complex synthetic option strategies, but carries significant risk and high fees. ULTY's weekly payouts and synthetic covered call approach expose investors to heightened NAV erosion, particularly during sharp market corrections or volatility shocks.

The fund's high yield is partly a return of capital, and falling volatility may reduce future income potential; tax considerations are significant.
