The issuer set July 22 as the ex- and record date for a new Group 1 payout cycle spanning semiconductor, AI, crypto, metals and covered-call strategies, with distribution rates ranging from 26.02% to 60.51%.
YieldMax announced weekly distributions for 11 Group 1 weekly pay ETFs, with an ex- and record date of July 22, 2026 and a payment date of July 23, 2026. The lineup includes CHPY, GPTY, LFGY, MINY, QDTY, RDTY, SDTY, SLTY, ULTY, YMAG and YMAX. Among them, LFGY, the YieldMax Crypto Industry & Tech Portfolio Option Income ETF, will pay $0.1961 per share and is listed with a 50.32% distribution rate, a 0.00% 30-Day SEC Yield and 61.18% estimated return of capital. ULTY shows the highest distribution rate in the group at 60.51%, while SLTY is listed at 55.21% and YMAX at 47.53%. The issuer said distributions are variable, are not guaranteed and may differ significantly from the stated distribution rate or 30-Day SEC Yield. It also warned that payouts may include ordinary dividends, capital gains and return of investor capital, which can reduce an ETF’s NAV and market price over time. YieldMax said the distribution rate figures are based on annualizing the latest payment as of the close on July 20, 2026 and do not represent total return. The funds generally use options-based income strategies that can cap upside participation while leaving investors exposed to losses if the reference asset declines. SLTY, described as the Short ETF, uses a different structure tied to inverse exposure and carries the risk of losses if the underlying reference asset rises. YieldMax also said investors in the funds do not have rights to receive dividends or other distributions tied to the underlying reference assets.
