Our read on LFGY
CYieldMax made its name on single-stock option income. LFGY is the spread-out version: an actively managed basket of crypto-industry and tech stocks with options written against them, paying out monthly.
The actively managed fund seeks current income and capital appreciation through a portfolio of U.S.-listed equity securities issued by crypto-industry and technology companies, while using options on those securities and related ETFs to generate income.
Why people hold it
- Not a one-ticker bet. Roughly 70 crypto-industry and tech positions carry the options overlay, so no single name drives the whole payout.
- The mandate chases current income and capital appreciation, and it's actively run, so the option book can move with the names instead of tracking a fixed index.
- Distributions come monthly, a steadier rhythm than the quarterly norm.
Worth knowing
- The 1.02% expense ratio sits above the median for crypto option-income funds. SPBC and CEPI deliver their own crypto-plus-income tilt for less.
- Writing calls on the holdings is what funds the payout, and it trims how much of a crypto-equity rally the fund keeps.
- Launched in 2025, so the risk read rests on a short history, and it currently lands in the lower half of its crypto option-income peer group.
