About this ETF
The YieldMax Ultra Option Income Strategy ETF (ULTY) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund structured to generate consistent income. It accomplishes this by utilizing a varied portfolio of covered call options. The fund typically invests in 15 to 30 underlying securities, which are primarily chosen based on their implied volatility. While ULTY provides exposure to the performance of these foundational assets, any potential gains are subject to an upper limit. The investment portfolio undergoes regular re-evaluation and modifications, with holdings being increased, reduced, or replaced as market conditions shift.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns.

Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
