The ETF.net GMEY Grade
Score 40 of 100 sits in the C band. Bands: A ≥ 70, B ≥ 55, C ≥ 40, D ≥ 25, F < 25; the scale skips E. A structural cap ceilings this fund at 40, so B and A are out of reach.

Our read on GMEY
CGameStop, with a paycheck attached. GMEY sells call spreads on GME to convert the stock's option premiums into income, while keeping a lane open for some of the share-price appreciation.
The fund is actively managed to generate weekly income by selling call spreads on GameStop Corp (GME), while seeking participation in the appreciation of its share price.
Why people hold it
- Spreads, not a hard ceiling. The fund sells calls on GME and owns a higher-strike call against them, so a rally isn't cut off at a single strike.yieldmaxetfs.com
- Fee of 1.01% lands under the median for single-stock option-income funds, so the income engine isn't paying a premium price for the privilege.
- Actively managed with one stated job: generate income week to week from GME options, on a set distribution schedule rather than a fixed index recipe.yieldmaxetfs.com
Worth knowing
- The trade is asymmetric by design: you carry GME's declines while the short calls trim the upside, and the exposure is built from options rather than actual shares.
- A small fund that doesn't trade heavily. Bid-ask spreads can be wider than on the giants of the option-income shelf, which shows up in your execution price.
- It launched in 2025 and isn't the only GME income wrapper on the shelf. IGME aims at the same stock for 0.96%.
