About this ETF
The YieldMax Short MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF (WNTR) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund designed to produce regular weekly income. It achieves this objective by implementing a synthetic covered put options strategy focused on Strategy Inc (MSTR) shares. This sophisticated strategy is structured to collect income from option premiums while simultaneously establishing a bearish (short) position against the price movements of MSTR stock. Risk mitigation is incorporated into the strategy through the acquisition of call options.

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.
