NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tidal Financial Group is pleased to announce upcoming changes effective September 26, 2024, to enhance the offerings of three Defiance ETFs:

Defiance ETFs Announces Monthly Distributions on $QQQY (105.45%), $JEPY (72.04%), $IWMY (110.96%), $SPYT (20.12%), $USOY (75.17%), and $QQQT (20.06%).

Defiance S&P 500 Enhanced Option ETF offers a high dividend yield of about 42% through the use of an at-the-money option strategy. JEPY's price stability is questionable due to its flawed fund strategy, leading to a continual decrease in share price over time. The stock already experienced a 1:3 stock split. Alternative funds with out-of-the-money option strategies may offer better long-term performance and price stability compared to JEPY.

CHICAGO and MILWAUKEE and NEW YORK, July 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tidal Financial Group announced today that the Board of Trustees of Tidal Trust II has approved a one-for-three (1-for-3) reverse split of the Defiance QQQY, JEPY, and IWMY ETFs.

JEPY is a relatively new fund with a strategy quite similar to those of covered call ETFs. It offers investors a massive, unsustainable 55.4% distribution yield. Share prices will almost certainly decline long-term, as they have since inception. I believe JEPI to be a stronger, more balanced, sustainable choice.

Zero-days-to-expiration options now make up nearly half of the overall volume in the options market. Defiance S&P 500 Enhanced Options Income ETF aims to take advantage of the put side of the 0DTE market by writing in-the-money put options on the SPX. JEPY has underperformed the S&P 500 Total Return Index since its inception, and its yield is not comparable to traditional equity ETFs.

JEPY is a relatively new fund designed to generate high income from options. The fund's distribution yield is over 40%. We look at how the fund generates income and whether you should put your dollars into this.
