About this ETF
The YieldMax Strategic Metals & Mining Portfolio Option Income ETF, or MINY, is a professionally managed exchange-traded fund designed with a dual objective: to deliver consistent income and foster long-term capital growth. MINY achieves this by investing in a concentrated portfolio of approximately 15 to 30 publicly listed companies operating within the strategic metals and mining sector. Its primary strategy for generating income involves writing options contracts on its equity holdings, aiming to provide distributions to investors on a weekly basis. Beyond options income, the ETF also pursues capital appreciation through direct investments in the equities of these companies. The fund's adviser meticulously evaluates potential holdings, considering factors such as stock and options liquidity, price levels, and implied volatility, and continually adjusts the portfolio through regular reviews to optimize its composition.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
