Score 31 of 100 sits in the D 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 MAAY
DMost single-stock income funds write options on the stock. MAAY goes one floor up: it sells options tied to a 2x leveraged MARA ETF, aiming to wring double the premium out of a bitcoin miner's volatility, and it pays monthly.
The Fund seeks to produce twice the income from selling options on MARA Holdings Inc. by using leveraged ETFs linked to twice the stock's daily performance. It also seeks capped exposure to that leveraged ETF's performance.
Why people hold it
- The premium engine runs on a 2x MARA vehicle rather than MARA shares, so income is harvested from twice the daily move. Distributions are made monthly.graniteshares.com
- Fee is 1.07%, sitting at the middle of the single-stock option-income pack rather than the pricey end.
- A 1940 Act ETF wrapper: one ticker, no margin account, no rolling your own contracts on one of the market's twitchiest miners.graniteshares.com
- Different animal from MARO, which writes on MARA directly. MAAY's reference is the leveraged version, a distinct premium and risk profile.
Worth knowing
- Upside is capped by design. You collect option premium plus a limited slice of the leveraged ETF's gains, not the full melt-up.graniteshares.com
- The downside is not capped, and the reference resets its 2x exposure daily, so choppy stretches in MARA can erode the underlying even without a clear trend.
- Launched November 2025, small and thinly traded. Spreads deserve a look and limit orders earn their keep here.
