Our read on SMYY
CMost single-stock income funds sell calls on the stock. SMYY flips it: the income comes from selling put options on a 2x leveraged SMCI ETF, and the cash goes out monthly.
The Fund seeks income primarily by selling put options on leveraged ETFs designed to deliver twice the daily performance of SMCI. It also seeks capped exposure to the performance of that leveraged ETF.
Why people hold it
- A different engine than the covered-call crowd: premiums are harvested by selling puts on a 2x SMCI ETF, where leverage inflates option pricing.graniteshares.com
- Income is paid on a monthly cadence, not quarterly.
- The 1.07% fee sits right at the median for single-stock option-income funds, so the exotic plumbing carries no premium price tag.
- Rates in the upper half of a crowded single-stock overlay peer group on our review.
Worth knowing
- The shape is lopsided by design: exposure to the leveraged ETF is capped on the way up, while drawdowns pass through.
- Everything rides on one volatile AI-server maker, viewed through a 2x daily-reset ETF that compounds sharp moves.
- A 2025 launch with a small asset base and light trading, which tends to mean wider bid-ask spreads than household-name ETFs.
