Our read on SEMY

ETF.net Research

In short

DMost income ETFs sell calls on calm blue chips. SEMY sells puts on a 3x leveraged semiconductor fund, converting one of the market's most violent corners into option premium. An income engine bolted onto a volatility furnace.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to generate income through options strategies, primarily by selling put options on leveraged ETFs tracking the 3x Long ICESEMI Daily ETF. Its secondary objective is exposure to that leveraged ETF, subject to a cap on potential gains.

Why people hold it

  • The mechanism is the point: writing puts on a 3x semiconductor ETF harvests premium priced off triple-leveraged swings, not the milder volatility of ordinary chip shares.graniteshares.com
  • No chip stocks on the books. Exposure runs through options on a leveraged fund, so the income comes from premium collected rather than dividends passed through.graniteshares.com
  • Built as a standard 1940 Act fund: shares trade intraday like any ETF and tax reporting arrives on a 1099, not a K-1.graniteshares.com

Worth knowing

  • The 1.07% expense ratio runs above what most options-income peers charge. That is the sticker price on actively managed put-writing rather than a passive overlay.
  • Upside is capped by design. A short put collects premium and leaves the big rally to someone else, while the pain side still references a 3x semiconductor fund.
  • Launched in late 2025, so there is little history to judge it by, and the fund discloses that distributions can include return of capital (your own money handed back).
