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 QBY
DQBY never touches QBTS itself. It sells put options on a 2x leveraged ETF tied to the stock, converting that amplified swing into monthly income. A derivative on a derivative, wired for premium collection rather than upside.
The fund seeks to generate income through options strategies, primarily by selling put options on leveraged ETFs tracking the 2x Long QBTS Daily ETF.
Why people hold it
- The engine is simple: sell puts on a 2x QBTS ETF, collect the premium, distribute monthly. Leverage makes those options expensive, which is exactly the point.graniteshares.com
- The 1.07% fee sits right at the middle of the single-stock options-income pack. The exotic plumbing doesn't cost extra.
- Put writing gives the position a defined shape: income from premiums, not a leveraged long ride on the reference stock.
Worth knowing
- Selling puts caps the payoff at the premium collected, while short exposure tied to a 2x fund means declines land magnified.
- A late-2025 launch that is still small and thinly traded, so spreads can be wide and there is little history to judge it by.
- Payments come monthly but vary: premium income rises and falls with volatility in the options it sells.
