BIGY, RNTY and SOXY each target a 12% annual income level, with Aug. 6 monthly payouts following Aug. 5 ex-date and record dates.

Summary

YieldMax announced monthly distributions for three YieldMax Target 12 ETFs, with ex-date and record date of Aug. 5, 2026 and payment on Aug. 6. The YieldMax Target 12 Big50 Option Income ETF (BIGY) will pay $0.5237 a share, the YieldMax Target 12 RealEstate Option Income ETF (RNTY) will pay $0.5025, and the YieldMax Target 12 Semiconductor Option Income ETF (SOXY) will pay $0.8913. All three funds seek a 12% target annual income level and showed 12.00% distribution rates as of Aug. 3, while their 30-day SEC yields were 0.27%, 2.13% and -0.51%, respectively, and their estimated return of capital shares were 96.88%, 100.00% and 0.00%.

  • return of capital: The portion of a distribution that gives investors back part of their original investment rather than income or gains.
