NEW YORK, Oct. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YieldMax® ETFs today announced a significant enhancement to its distribution framework, moving all single stock option income ETFs to a weekly distribution schedule. This shift reflects investor demand for more frequent income opportunities and represents the natural evolution of the YieldMax® product line.

YieldMax Magnificent 7 Fund of Option Income ETFs has achieved a rare balance of steady NAV and distributions over the past six months. Unlike YMAX, YMAG's distributions have not trended lower, supported by recent strategy changes and strong performance in the underlying Mag 7 stocks. The fund's high, variable yield is driven by covered call premiums, volatility, and payout timing from underlying ETFs, but sustainability is uncertain.

YieldMax Magnificent 7 Fund remains a Hold, with strong income focus but limited capital appreciation due to its passive covered call strategy. YMAG lags MAGS in total return growth, while YMAX is preferred for long-term, market-agnostic investors due to better tracking of QQQ. Roundhill Magnificent Seven Covered Call ETF underperforms YMAG despite a more direct structure and lower yield, warranting a Hold and watch status.

I focus on high-yield, income-generating ETFs and CEFs for retirement, accepting higher risk for greater passive income and compounding. YieldMax Magnificent 7 Fund of Option Income ETFs and YieldMax Universe Fund of Option Income ETFs are high-risk, high-reward ETFs offering weekly distributions and total returns exceeding 25% over the past year. YMAG is more concentrated in Magnificent 7 stocks, while YMAX offers broader diversification, including alternative assets and more holdings.

Can an investor take a six-figure account and transform it into a weekly paycheck generator?

The YMAG ETF extracts a very high yield from the well-known Magnificent Seven stocks.

The skepticism surrounding YieldMax ETFs is related to their high level of risk. However, it's fine to own YieldMax funds as long as you stick to certain de-risking guidelines.

Growth income ETFs using covered calls provide a convenient and flexible way to raise cash for market rotation with weekly high income flow. YMAG stands out with a trailing yield of 49%, making it the highest income generator among the covered call growth ETFs I track. The Magnificent 7 stocks offer unique alpha, giving YMAG a better chance to outperform the broader market SPY.

YieldMax ETFs like YieldMax Magnificent 7 Fund of Option Income ETFs offer attractive income but only capture about 80% of upside and downside, so investors must understand the trade-offs. Covered call ETFs are not immune to significant losses during sharp market declines; option income can't always offset rapid drops in underlying stocks. Pairing YMAG with put options (such as on QQQ) can help manage downside risk, but hedging comes with costs and may erode gains if markets rebound quickly.
