About this ETF
YMAX, officially known as the YieldMax Universe Fund of Option Income ETFs, is a dynamically managed exchange-traded fund whose primary objective is to generate consistent income for investors. Structured as a "fund of funds," it achieves this by allocating capital across the entire spectrum of YieldMax's specialized option income ETFs. Each of these constituent YieldMax ETFs, in turn, is designed to produce income streams while simultaneously providing market exposure to the value of a distinct underlying asset, such as a specific company's stock or another exchange-traded fund.

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.
