Our read on HOOY
BMost single-stock income funds sell calls and slam the lid on upside. HOOY sells call spreads on Robinhood stock, harvesting option premium while keeping a slice of the move above the short strike.
The fund seeks weekly income by selling call spreads on HOOD while retaining some participation in HOOD's share-price appreciation.
Why people hold it
- The call-spread design is the point: the fund aims for option income while retaining some participation in HOOD's share-price appreciation, rather than capping it flat at one strike.yieldmaxetfs.com
- 0.99% expense ratio, below the going rate for single-stock option-income funds and under the 1.07% charged by sibling HOOD income fund HOYY.
- Income is the stated mission, on a weekly cadence, and the fund ranks among the stronger implementations in a crowded single-stock overlay peer group.yieldmaxetfs.com
Worth knowing
- Exposure is synthetic: the fund uses options on HOOD rather than owning the shares, so there are no shareholder rights and no company dividends passed through.
- One stock drives everything. Downside largely follows HOOD, and premium income moves with HOOD's option volatility, so payout size varies period to period.
- Launched in 2025, so the track record is short relative to older option-income strategies.
