ULTY: Different Strategy From YieldMax With Weekly Distributions But A Lot Of What-Ifs
YieldMax Ultra Option Income Strategy ETF offers a unique, diversified, actively managed option-income strategy with weekly distributions, making it attractive for income-focused investors seeking frequent payouts. Despite a -68.6% share price decline since inception, distributions have nearly offset losses, making long-term holders almost whole on a net basis. Risks include significant capital erosion, capped upside, high fees, and fluctuating distributions, requiring careful due diligence before investing.

ULTY: You're Getting Paid, Sure, But You're Still Losing
ULTY's synthetic covered call strategy offers high weekly yields, but relies on volatile stocks and complex derivatives, making it riskier than it appears. Most of ULTY's distributions are Return of Capital, not true income, which can erode your cost basis and lead to future tax consequences in taxable accounts. Total return consistently lags the S&P 500, and capital erosion is a real risk—especially if volatility drops or the market turns bearish.

ULTY: The Gambler's Income ETF
ULTY offers extremely high yield via aggressive, actively managed covered call strategies, but carries significant risk and volatility due to its focus on high-beta stocks. While recent total returns have outpaced the S&P 500, this performance is highly dependent on management skill and is not consistently reliable. Its lifetime performance is still fairly poor. Most distributions are classified as return-of-capital, providing tax deferral benefits. However, this has become a norm and is no longer enough to stand out.
