YieldMax Announces Distributions for BIGY, RNTY, and SOXY ETFs

Distribution Details

YieldMax announced distributions for three of its Target 12 ETFs on May 5, 2026. The funds—BIGY, RNTY, and SOXY—seek to generate income with a 12% target annual income level. The distribution amounts and rates are as follows:

• BIGY: $0.3213 per share, distribution rate 16.04% (based on NAV of $24.04 as of May 4, 2026)
• RNTY: $0.2565 per share, distribution rate 12.82% (based on NAV of $24.00)
• SOXY: $0.2830 per share, distribution rate 14.15% (based on NAV of $24.00)

The 30-Day SEC Yield (excluding option income) as of April 30, 2026, was 0.00% for all three funds. The return of capital (ROC) component is estimated at 0% for each distribution.

Key Considerations

Distributions are not guaranteed and may vary significantly from period to period, including the possibility of zero distributions. Investors in the funds do not have rights to receive dividends or other distributions from the underlying reference assets. Each fund's strategy caps potential gains if the reference asset increases in value but subjects investors to all potential losses if the reference asset declines. Such losses may not be offset by income received.

The distribution rate is calculated by annualizing the most recent distribution and dividing by the fund's NAV. It does not represent total return. Distributions may include ordinary dividends, capital gains, and return of capital, which can decrease NAV and trading price over time. The rates shown may be due to unusually favorable market conditions and may not be sustainable.

What it means for income investors

These distributions reflect YieldMax's option-income strategy, which can produce high current yields but carries risks of capital erosion and variable payouts. Income-focused investors should weigh the potential for elevated distribution rates against the possibility of NAV decline and lack of underlying asset dividends.
