Summary
YMAX: A 70% Yield That's Mostly Illusion - Here's Why I'd Sell
YieldMax Universe Fund of Option Income ETFs' high yield is mostly a return of your own capital, not true income, which erodes your investment over time. The fund's structure limits upside in strong markets and exposes you to losses in weak markets, with no real downside protection. Most investors misunderstand YMAX's payouts, mistaking principal return for genuine income, and face unfavorable tax consequences.
YMAX: Weekly Dividend Income Yielding Over 50% Annually Comes At A Cost
YMAX offers exceptionally high yields, but these are largely offset by significant share price declines and NAV erosion due to its synthetic options strategy. The fund's distributions are mostly return of capital, raising concerns about sustainability and long-term value for income-focused investors. While YMAX has outperformed SPY in total return over the past year, I prefer more stable alternatives like QQQI for income investing.

BetaShares Australian Top 20 Equity Yield Maximiser Fund Profile
| CXA Exchange | US Country |
Overview
The fund operates as a âfund of funds,â 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.
Products and Services
- ETF Portfolios:
The primary service offered by the fund is the management of portfolios comprised of a diverse range of ETFs. By investing in multiple ETFs, the fund aims to provide investors with a balanced and diversified portfolio, mitigating the risks associated with investing in individual securities.
- Direct Investments:
In addition to its ETF-focused investment strategy, the fund occasionally makes direct investments in securities and financial instruments. These investments are typically made in assets in which the Underlying YieldMax⢠ETFs invest, allowing the fund to potentially enhance its returns by directly engaging in opportunities identified through its ETF investments.
