About this ETF
YLDY combines equity and options strategies to pursue its objectives of current income and capital appreciation. The equity strategy invests in dividend-paying securities, including common and preferred stocks, convertible debt, ADRs, REITs, and ETFs, primarily from US large-cap issuers. The options strategy, on the other hand, aims to generate income and manage volatility by selling call options on broad-based indices such as the S&P 500. Options utilized may be exchange-traded/FLEX or OTC. The fund employs a multi-disciplinary approach, analyzing factors such as profitability, earnings stability, price variability, and valuations. It also writes covered call options and cash-secured put options and may use spreads, straddles, and collars. The actively managed portfolio has a modest defensive tilt and is designed to perform differently across market conditions, potentially underperforming in strong up markets while aiming to provide relative stability in flat or down markets.

Latest News for YLDY
No articles mention this fund directly in the last 7 days; showing general ETF coverage.
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.
