Weekly Distribution Schedule
Weekly payers typically declare on Wednesday, go ex-dividend on Thursday, and pay on Friday.
28-Day Distribution Schedule
Monthly payers follow a 28-day (4-week) cycle, not calendar months. Groups A, B, C, and D are staggered by one week each.
Note: All distribution dates are subject to change. For the most current dividend announcements and ex-dividend dates, visit individual ETF pages or check with YieldMax directly.
How YieldMax ETFs Work: Covered Call Strategy Explained
The Covered Call Strategy
YieldMax ETFs primarily use a covered call strategy on individual stocks or ETFs. This involves holding the underlying security while simultaneously selling call options against it.
How It Generates Income:
- • Collect premium from selling call options
- • Receive dividends from underlying holdings
- • Benefit from time decay of options
- • Generate income in sideways/declining markets
Single Stock Focus
Unlike traditional diversified ETFs, most YieldMax funds focus on a single underlying stock, such as Tesla (TSLY), NVIDIA (NVDY), or MicroStrategy (MSTY).
Concentration Risk:
- • All performance tied to one stock
- • Higher volatility than diversified funds
- • Potential for significant losses
- • Limited upside participation
Income vs. Growth Trade-off

Are YieldMax ETFs Safe? Complete Safety Review
Key Risk Factors
Single Stock Concentration
Most YieldMax ETFs are tied to one underlying stock, creating significant concentration risk.
Principal Loss Risk
High distribution yields often come from return of capital, potentially eroding principal.
Limited Upside Participation
Covered call strategies cap gains potential during strong bull markets.
Distribution Variability
Monthly distributions can vary significantly based on market conditions and options premiums.
Potential Benefits
Professional Management
Experienced options traders manage complex strategies for retail investors.
High Income Potential
Can generate substantial monthly income in the right market conditions.
Tactical Allocation Tool
Useful as a small tactical allocation for income-focused investors.
Liquid ETF Structure
Easy to buy and sell compared to individual options strategies.
Safety Verdict
YieldMax ETFs are not "safe" investments in the traditional sense. They are high-risk, high-reward strategies suitable only for experienced investors with high risk tolerance. Consider them as tactical allocations (5-10% of portfolio maximum) rather than core holdings.
