YMAX: Diversification Risk Hurts Income Prospect
YieldMax Universe Fund offers a high yield of 57%, but its diversified options-income strategy leads to NAV decline. YMAX's holdings employ synthetic covered calls, causing NAV erosion if underlying stocks decline, unlike traditional income funds with stable principal. Comparing YieldMax funds based on TSLA, NVDA, and COIN shows varied performance due to different underlying stock movements, impacting total returns.

YMAX: Paying Extra Management Fees For No Good Reason
YieldMax™ Universe Fund lacks a coherent investment theme and holds a mix of tech, crypto, and unrelated sectors, making it inefficient and erratic. YMAX charges a 0.29% management fee on top of acquired expenses for a 1.28% gross expense ratio, while offering no real diversification or strategic value. Individual YieldMax funds should be chosen based on specific market conditions and stock performance, rather than holding a mixed bag like YMAX.

YMAX: Bundling Ultra Strategies Has Worked Surprisingly Well
YMAX, a fund-of-funds holding various YieldMax ETFs, offers high income with a distribution rate up to 47.25%, outperforming the S&P 500 since my initial recommendation. The underlying funds' strategies include buying T-Bills, creating synthetic long positions, and trading options, which maximizes yield but carries significant active management risk. Major risks include high fees, volatile income, and reliance on YieldMax's strategy, making YMAX suitable only for aggressive investors with a recommended 5% allocation.

Why I Am Not A Big Fan Of YMAX ETF
YMAX grabs headlines with its massive distribution yields, but investors should be aware of a few important shortcomings. Among them are equal weighting and high costs that are hindering YMAX's performance. But, the biggest concern for YMAX's investors is NAV erosion, which may lead to declining distributions per share long-term.
