WPAY Vs. YMAX: Don't Let The 69% Yield Fool You
WPAY offers weekly payments, with a more balanced risk profile than its competitor YMAX. You will learn the 3 key differences between these ETFs that drove my decision to favor WPAY. WPAY's use of weekly option resets allows for better trend capture and NAV protection compared to YMAX's capped upside issues.
YMAX: 70%+ Yield? Don't Fall For The Hype
The YieldMax Universe Fund of Option Income ETFs offers a massive 70%+ yield, but faces significant capital erosion. YMAX's aggressive covered call strategy caps upside potential while exposing investors to risky, volatile underlying assets and uncapped downside risk. Despite high yields, YMAX has a history of dividend cuts and has underperformed the S&P 500 and better-constructed covered call ETFs like QQQI on total return.
YMAX: 'Fund-Of-Funds' Powerhouse
YieldMax Universe Fund of Option Income ETFs has gained popularity for high income and downside risk mitigation via diverse holdings and put overlays. YMAX's NAV erosion concerns have been addressed since April 2025, with stable NAV and consistent distributions supporting its income-generating appeal. I am neutral on YMAX for now, awaiting confirmation of a rebound above $12 before considering a buy, due to portfolio weighting strategy.

BetaShares Australian Top 20 Equity Yield Maximiser Fund (managed fund) Profile
| CXA Exchange | US Country |
Overview
The fund operates as a “fund of funds,” which is a distinctive investment strategy primarily focused on investing in a collection of other Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) rather than directly in the stocks of individual corporations. This approach allows the fund to leverage the performance and strategies of various underlying funds, providing investors with a diversified investment option. Occasionally, the fund may also directly invest in the securities and financial instruments that one or more of the Underlying YieldMax™ ETFs are invested in, though it typically remains focused on ETF investments. Importantly, the fund is classified as non-diversified, implying that it may commit a larger portion of its assets into single or a limited number of investments, potentially increasing the risk and return profile compared to more diversified alternatives.
