CWYDGraniteShares YieldBOOST CRWV ETF

In short

ACYQ —No data

CWY Most single-stock income funds write calls on the stock. CWY flips it: it sells put spreads on a 2x leveraged CoreWeave ETF, mining the fatter premiums leverage creates, and pays the proceeds out weekly.

Stated mandate

ACYQ —No data

CWY The fund seeks to generate twice the income from selling options on CoreWeave, Inc.’s common stock by selling options on leveraged ETFs designed to deliver twice the stock’s daily performance. It may also gain capped exposure to the leveraged ETF.

Why people hold it

ACYQ —No data

• CWY The engine is volatility, not dividends. Options on a 2x CoreWeave ETF carry richer premiums than options on the shares, and selling that premium is the whole job.graniteshares.com
• Downside is defined rather than open-ended: the YieldBOOST design pairs a sold near-the-money put with a purchased further out-of-the-money put.graniteshares.com
• The fund itself carries no leverage. The 2x lives in the ETF whose options it writes, which is where the premium comes from.graniteshares.com
• Income arrives weekly, not quarterly, which is unusually frequent even among single-stock option-income funds.graniteshares.com

Worth knowing

ACYQ —No data

• CWY Upside is capped by design. Exposure to the leveraged ETF is subject to a cap on gains, so a big CoreWeave run mostly passes the fund by while the drawdowns do not.graniteshares.com
• 1.07% a year is at the expensive end of the ETF world, the cost of running a weekly options book on one of the market's jumpier names.
• Distributions can include return of capital, meaning part of a payout may be your own money handed back rather than earnings.
