YMAX YieldMax Universe Fund of Option Income ETFs
YieldMax Universe Fund of Option Income ETFs shows several signals that historically correlate with elevated dividend risk.
Why we rate it 4.7
- Very high yield of 78.83% — often signals stress or a structural pay-out (covered call ETFs, mREITs, etc.)
- Payout ratio not applicable for ETFs — ETF distributions are dictated by the fund's underlying holdings
- ETF structure provides built-in diversification — single-name dividend cuts have limited impact
- Small-cap scale — dividend stability less assured during downturns

About YieldMax Universe Fund of Option Income ETFs
The fund is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it primarily invests its assets in the shares of other ETFs, rather than in securities of individual companies. In addition, from time to time, the fund may invest directly in the securities and financial instruments in which one or more Underlying YieldMax™ ETF invests. The fund is non-diversified.
