Summary

YieldMax said it will make weekly distributions on July 29, 2026 for three YieldMax Performance & Distribution Target 25 ETFs, with ex- and record date set for July 28. The payouts are $0.1047 per share for MSST, $0.2368 for NVIT and $0.1685 for TEST. Each fund showed a 25.00% distribution rate as of the close on July 24, 2026, while 30-Day SEC Yield (standardized fund income metric) came in at 3.76% for MSST, 2.12% for NVIT and 2.47% for TEST.

The firm said the funds seek to generate income with a 25% target annual income level, but stressed distributions may vary significantly, may be zero, and are not guaranteed. YieldMax also said the ETFs use options-based strategies that cap upside participation while exposing investors to downside moves in the reference assets, and noted the funds do not invest directly in the underlying stocks.
