YieldMax™ announced the launch today of the following ETF:
- YieldMax™ Short NVDA Option Income
Strategy ETF (NYSE Arca: DIPS)
DIPS Overview
DIPS is an actively managed ETF that seeks to generate current
income from a synthetic covered put strategy on NVIDIA
Corporation (“NVDA”), while providing indirect
short (inverse) exposure to the share price of
NVDA. DIPS’s potential for gains from decreases in the share price
of NVDA is limited, while its potential for losses resulting from
increases in the share price of NVDA is up to 100%. DIPS
does not invest directly in NVDA and does not directly short
NVDA. Investors seeking direct exposure to the price of
NVDA should consider an investment other than this Fund.
DIPS Portfolio Construction
DIPS’s synthetic covered put strategy consists of the following
four elements:
- Synthetic short exposure to NVDA,
consisting of a long at-the-money put option and a short
at-the-money call option, which allows DIPS to seek to participate
on an inverse, unleveraged basis in changes, up or down, to the
share price of NVDA;
- Covered put writing (where NVDA put
options are sold against the synthetic short portion of the
strategy), which allows DIPS to generate income;
- U.S. Treasuries, which are used for
collateral for the options, and which also generate income;
and
- Out-of-the money (“OTM”) call
options, which are purchased to seek to cap DIPS’s potential losses
from its short exposure to NVDA if NVDA’s share price appreciates
significantly in value.
The loss capping works only if the NVDA share price
rises to or above the strike price of the purchased OTM call
options. If the NVDA share price increases but stays below the
strike price of these options, DIPS will incur losses proportionate
to this price increase, which may be up to 100% of your
investment.
Why Invest in DIPS?
- DIPS seeks to generate current
income, which is not dependent on the price depreciation of
NVDA.
- DIPS seeks to benefit when the NVDA
share price decreases, however DIPS’s potential corresponding
benefit from decreases in the NVDA share price is limited.
- DIPS’s short exposure to NVDA is not leveraged so does not
result in daily resetting.
DIPS is the newest member of the growing
YieldMax™ ETF family and, like all YieldMax™ ETFs, aims to deliver
current income to investors. Please see table below for
distribution and yield information for all outstanding YieldMax™
ETFs. Note: DIPS, FIAT and CRSH are hereinafter referred to as the
“Short ETFs”.
Please note that distributions may include a combination
of ordinary dividends, capital gain, and return of investor
capital, which may decrease an ETF’s NAV and trading price over
time, and may have additional tax implications.

The performance data quoted above represents past
performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
The investment return and principal value of an investment will
fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may
be worth more or less than their original cost and current
performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted
above. Performance current to the most recent month-end can be
obtained by calling (833) 378-0717.
Distributions are not guaranteed. The Distribution Rate and
30-Day SEC Yield are not indicative of future distributions, if
any, on the ETFs. In particular, future distributions on any ETF
may differ significantly from its Distribution Rate or 30-Day SEC
Yield. You are not guaranteed a distribution under the
ETFs. Distributions for the ETFs (if any) are variable and may vary
significantly from month to month and may be zero.
Accordingly, the Distribution Rate and 30-Day SEC Yield will change
over time, and such change may be significant.
Investors in the Funds will not have rights to receive
dividends or other distributions with respect to the underlying
reference asset(s).

The inception date for SNOY is June 10, 2024. The inception date
for ABNY is June 24, 2024. The inception date for FIAT is July 9,
2024. |

All YieldMax™ ETFs shown in the table above (except YMAX,
YMAG and ULTY) have a gross expense ratio of 0.99%.
YMAX and YMAG have a Management
Fee of 0.29% and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses of 0.99% for a
gross expense ratio of 1.28%. “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are
indirect fees and expenses that the Fund incurs from investing in
the shares of other investment companies, namely other YieldMax™
ETFs. ULTY has a gross expense ratio of 1.24% but
the investment adviser has agreed to a 0.10% fee waiver through at
least February 28, 2025. |
2 |
The Distribution Rate shown is as
of close on July 23, 2024. The Distribution Rate is the annual
distribution an investor would receive if the most recently
declared distribution, which includes option
income, remained the same going forward. The Distribution
Rate is calculated by multiplying such distribution by twelve (12),
and dividing the resulting amount by the ETF’s most recent NAV. The
Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and
does not represent its total return. As a result,
an investor may suffer significant losses to their investment.
These Distribution Rates may be caused by unusually favorable
market conditions and may not be sustainable. Such conditions may
not continue to exist and there should be no expectation that this
performance may be repeated in the future. |
3 |
The 30-Day SEC Yield represents
net investment income, which excludes option
income, earned by such ETF over the 30-Day period ended
June 30, 2024, expressed as an annual percentage rate based on such
ETF’s share price at the end of the 30-Day period. As of such date,
the ULTY subsidized and unsubsidized 30-Day SEC
Yields were 0.00% and 0.00%, respectively. The subsidized yield
reflects fee waivers in effect while the unsubsidized yield does
not adjust for any fee waivers in effect. |
4 |
Each ETF’s strategy
(except those of
the Short ETFs)
will cap potential gains if its reference asset’s shares increase
in value, yet subjects an investor to all potential losses if the
reference asset’s shares decrease in value. Such potential losses
may not be offset by income received by the ETF. Each Short
ETF’s strategy will cap potential gains
if its reference asset’s shares decrease in value, yet subjects an
investor to all potential losses if the reference asset’s shares
increase in value. Such potential losses may not be offset by
income received by the ETF. |

Risk Disclosures (applicable to all YieldMax ETFs
referenced above, except the
Short ETFs)
YMAX and YMAG generally invest
in other YieldMax™ ETFs. As such, these two Funds are subject to
the risks listed in this section, which apply to all the YieldMax™
ETFs they may hold from time to time.
Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
Call Writing Strategy Risk. The path dependency
(i.e., the continued use) of the Fund’s call writing strategy will
impact the extent that the Fund participates in the positive price
returns of the underlying reference asset and, in turn, the Fund’s
returns, both during the term of the sold call options and over
longer time periods. Counterparty Risk. The Fund
is subject to counterparty risk by virtue of its investments in
options contracts. Transactions in some types of derivatives,
including options, are required to be centrally cleared (“cleared
derivatives”). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the
Fund’s counterparty is a clearing house rather than a bank or
broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only
members of a clearing house (“clearing members”) can participate
directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared
derivatives through accounts at clearing members.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial
instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset
or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs),
interest rates or indexes. The Fund’s investments in derivatives
may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated
with directly investing in securities or other ordinary
investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect
correlation with underlying investments or the Fund’s other
portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability,
counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions.
Options Contracts. The use of options
contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions.
The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among
other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the
underlying instrument, including the anticipated volatility, which
are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and
international political, changes in the actual or implied
volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the
expiration of the option contract and economic events.
Distribution Risk. As part of the Fund’s
investment objective, the Fund seeks to provide current income.
There is no assurance that the Fund will make a distribution in any
given month. If the Fund does make distributions, the amounts of
such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution
to the next. High Portfolio Turnover
Risk. The Fund may actively and frequently trade all or a
significant portion of the Fund’s holdings. Liquidity
Risk. Some securities held by the Fund, including options
contracts, may be difficult to sell or be illiquid, particularly
during times of market turmoil. Non-Diversification
Risk. Because the Fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest
a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single
issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it was a diversified
fund. New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently
organized management investment company with no operating history.
As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or
history on which to base their investment decisions. Price
Participation Risk. The Fund employs an investment
strategy that includes the sale of call option contracts, which
limits the degree to which the Fund will participate in increases
in value experienced by the underlying reference asset over the
Call Period. Single Issuer Risk. Issuer-specific
attributes may cause an investment in the Fund to be more volatile
than a traditional pooled investment which diversifies risk or the
market generally. The value of the Fund, which focuses on an
individual security (ARKK, TSLA, AAPL, NVDA, AMZN, META, GOOGL,
NFLX, COIN, MSFT, DIS, XOM, JPM, AMD, PYPL, SQ, MRNA, AI, MSTR,
Bitcoin ETP, GDX®, SNOW, ABNB), may be more volatile than a
traditional pooled investment or the market as a whole and may
perform differently from the value of a traditional pooled
investment or the market as a whole.
Risk Disclosures (applicable
only to GDXY)
Risk of Investing in Foreign Securities. The
Fund is exposed indirectly to the securities of foreign issuers
selected by GDX®’s investment adviser, which subjects the Fund to
the risks associated with such companies. Investments in the
securities of foreign issuers involve risks beyond those associated
with investments in U.S. securities. Risk of Investing in
Gold and Silver Mining Companies. The Fund is exposed
indirectly to gold and silver mining companies selected by GDX®’s
investment adviser, which subjects the Fund to the risks associated
with such companies.
Risk Disclosures (applicable
only to YBIT)
YBIT does not invest directly in Bitcoin or any other
digital assets. YBIT does not invest directly in derivatives that
track the performance of Bitcoin or any other digital assets. YBIT
does not invest in or seek direct exposure to the current “spot” or
cash price of Bitcoin. Investors seeking direct exposure to the
price of Bitcoin should consider an investment other than
YBIT.
Bitcoin Investment Risk: The Fund’s indirect
investment in Bitcoin, through holdings in one or more Underlying
ETPs, exposes it to the unique risks of this emerging innovation.
Bitcoin’s price is highly volatile, and its market is influenced by
the changing Bitcoin network, fluctuating acceptance levels, and
unpredictable usage trends. Digital Assets Risk:
Digital assets like Bitcoin, designed as mediums of exchange, are
still an emerging asset class. They operate independently of any
central authority or government backing and are subject to
regulatory changes and extreme price volatility. Potentially No
1940 Act Protections. As of the date of this Prospectus, there is
only a single eligible Underlying ETP, and it is an investment
company subject to the 1940 Act. Bitcoin
ETP Risk: The Fund invests in options contracts
that are based on the value of the Bitcoin ETP. This subjects the
Fund to certain of the same risks as if it owned shares of the
Bitcoin ETP, even though it does not. Bitcoin ETPs are subject, but
not limited, to significant risk and heightened volatility. An
investor in a Bitcoin ETP may lose their entire investment. Bitcoin
ETPs are not suitable for all investors. In addition, not all
Bitcoin ETPs are registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940. Those Bitcoin ETPs that are not registered under such statute
are therefore not subject to the same regulations as exchange
traded products that are so registered.
Risk Disclosures (applicable
only to the Short ETFs)
Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
Price Appreciation Risk. As part of the Fund’s
synthetic covered put strategy, the Fund purchases and sells call
and put option contracts that are based on the share price of the
underlying reference asset. This strategy subjects the Fund to
certain of the same risks as if it shorted shares of the underlying
reference asset, even though it does not. By virtue of the Fund’s
indirect inverse exposure to changes in the share price of the
underlying reference asset, the Fund is subject to the risk that
the share price of the underlying reference asset increases.
Put Writing Strategy Risk. The path dependency
(i.e., the continued use) of the Fund’s put writing (selling)
strategy will impact the extent that the Fund participates in the
price decreases of the underlying reference asset and, in turn, the
Fund’s returns, both during the term of the sold put options and
over longer time periods. Purchased OTM Call Options
Risk. The Fund’s strategy is subject to potential losses
if shares of the underlying reference asset increase in value,
which may not be offset by the purchase of out-of-the-money (OTM)
call options. The Fund purchases OTM calls to seek to manage (cap)
the Fund’s potential losses from the Fund’s short exposure to the
underlying reference asset if it appreciates significantly in
value. However, the OTM call options will cap the Fund’s losses
only to the extent that the share price of the underlying reference
asset increases to a price that is at or above the strike price of
the purchased OTM call options. Any increase in the share price of
the underlying reference asset to a price that is below the strike
price of the purchased OTM call options will result in a
corresponding loss for the Fund. For example, if the OTM call
options have a strike price that is approximately 100% above the
then-current share price of the underlying reference asset at the
time of the call option purchase, and the share price of the
underlying reference asset increases by at least 100% during the
term of the purchased OTM call options, the Fund will lose all its
value. Since the Fund bears the costs of purchasing the OTM calls,
such costs will decrease the Fund’s value and/or any income
otherwise generated by the Fund’s investment strategy.
Counterparty Risk. The Fund is subject to
counterparty risk by virtue of its investments in options
contracts. Transactions in some types of derivatives, including
options, are required to be centrally cleared ("cleared
derivatives"). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the
Fund's counterparty is a clearing house rather than a bank or
broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only
members of a clearing house ("clearing members") can participate
directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared
derivatives through accounts at clearing members.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial
instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset
or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs),
interest rates or indexes. The Fund’s investments in derivatives
may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated
with directly investing in securities or other ordinary
investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect
correlation with underlying investments or the Fund’s other
portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability,
counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions.
Options Contracts. The use of options
contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions.
The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among
other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the
underlying reference asset, including the anticipated volatility,
which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national
and international political, changes in the actual or implied
volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the
expiration of the option contract and economic events.
Distribution Risk. As part of the Fund’s
investment objective, the Fund seeks to provide current income.
There is no assurance that the Fund will make a distribution in any
given month. If the Fund does make distributions, the amounts of
such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution
to the next. High Portfolio Turnover
Risk. The Fund may actively and frequently trade all or a
significant portion of the Fund’s holdings. Liquidity

contracts, may be difficult to sell or be illiquid, particularly
during times of market turmoil. Non-Diversification

Participation Risk. The Fund employs an investment
strategy that includes the sale of put option contracts, which
limits the degree to which the Fund will participate in decreases
in value experienced by the underlying reference asset over the Put
Period. Single Issuer Risk. Issuer-specific
attributes may cause an investment in the Fund to be more volatile
than a traditional pooled investment which diversifies risk or the
market generally. The value of the Fund, which focuses on an
individual security (e.g., TSLA, COIN, NVDA), may be more volatile
than a traditional pooled investment or the market as a whole and
may perform differently from the value of a traditional pooled
investment or the market as a whole.
