GraniteShares announces weekly distributions for YBTY and YBST YieldBOOST fund-of-funds ETFs

The two newly launched YieldBOOST FoFs ETFs will pay weekly distributions on Aug. 5, with stated distribution rates above 45% and option-driven income central to the strategy.

Summary

GraniteShares said its YieldBOOST fund-of-funds ETFs YBTY and YBST will make weekly distributions of $0.113255 and $0.110594 per share, respectively, with ex-date and record date of Aug. 3, 2026, and payment on Aug. 5, 2026. The firm listed distribution rates of 53.17% for YBTY and 45.69% for YBST, based on July 30 NAV, alongside 30-Day SEC yields of 113.71% and 106.23%, while estimated return of capital was 0.00% for both funds. GraniteShares said the products are newly launched fund-of-funds ETFs that seek to generate income by selling put options on underlying assets, a strategy that can produce elevated premiums but generally limits upside participation and leaves investors exposed to downside risk if reference assets fall. The firm also said shareholders are not entitled to distributions paid by the underlying ETFs and noted an expense cap of 1.15% through Dec. 31, 2026, subject to stated exclusions.
