ULTY: A Lot Of Complexity For A Return Lower Than A Government Bond
ULTY's 160% trailing 12-months dividend yield is, I believe, misleading and unsustainable, potentially resulting in negative returns due to rapid capital depreciation. The ETF's actively managed covered call strategy incurs high costs, including a 1.14% expense ratio, diminishing overall returns. Historical data shows an average monthly capital decline of 8.11%, leading to significant capital losses since its launch.

High Yields Will Never Be The Same - Here's Why
High-yield investments like BDCs, MLPs, CEFs, and REITs offer substantial dividend yields, often overlooked by retail investors due to a lack of awareness. Option ETFs generate high income by writing options against equities, with some offering extreme yields, like Yieldmax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF at 113%. These funds are for income generation, not total return or capital appreciation, and require a different evaluation lens than traditional investments.

ULTY: Look Under The Hood, Don't Fall For The 85% Yield Mirage
ULTY, an actively managed buy-write ETF, aims for high distributions but has underperformed, delivering only a +5.3% total return in the past year with a 28% annualized volatility. The fund's strategy involves selecting high volatility equities and writing covered calls, but this approach has led to significant NAV losses. High distribution yields can be misleading; ULTY's 85% stated yield is unsupported, with the fund's NAV dropping over 50% in the past year.

ULTY: The Managers Proved Me Wrong (Upgrade)
YieldMax Ultra Option Income Strategy ETF has significantly improved, with a distribution rate of nearly 86%, justifying an upgrade from sell to hold. Despite improved performance, ULTY remains risky due to manager discretion and lack of transparency in trading strategies, preventing a buy rating. The fund's holdings have diversified but remain highly volatile, making it suitable only for aggressive income portfolios with a small allocation.

ULTY: Adding Leveraged ETFs To Its Portfolio
ULTY's strategy of targeting high IV securities for covered calls is flawed, leading to long-term underperformance. The fund is deviating from its original strategy, now investing 15% in highly volatile triple-levered ETFs, increasing risk and potential losses. Leveraged ETFs introduce convexity risks and volatility decay, which can result in significant deviations from underlying indices and extreme price moves over time.
