AAPYAKurv Yield Premium Strategy Apple (AAPL) ETF

MEIBCDirexion META Defined Income Boost ETF

In short

AAPY Apple income without slamming the brakes on upside: AAPY builds its Apple exposure with options, sells calls above the market rather than at it, and pays monthly. Fee is 0.99% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027 (1.15% gross).

MEIB No data

Stated mandate

AAPY The Fund seeks current income while providing exposure to Apple Inc.'s share price, with potential gains limited by its options strategy.

MEIB No data

Why people hold it

  • AAPY The calls it sells sit out of the money, and the prospectus allows buying higher-strike calls and put spreads, a toolkit aimed at keeping some room above the sold strike.sec.govsec.gov 2
  • 0.99% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027 (1.15% gross) comes in under APLY, the other Apple options-income ETF, at 1.04%.
  • Collateral sits in Treasury bills, income is paid monthly, and the portfolio matches what the filings describe.sec.gov
  • One of the stronger builds in a crowded field of single-stock options-income funds.

MEIB No data

Worth knowing

  • AAPY Apple's full downside comes through the synthetic long position, while share-price gains are limited by the options strategy.sec.gov
  • Monthly payouts can include return of capital, meaning part of a distribution may be your own money coming back.kurvinvest.com
  • Small fund that trades thinly, so spreads can be wider than a mega-ETF's and large orders can move the price.
