Our read on each fund

HOOYBYieldMax HOOD Option Income Strategy ETF

XXVASimplify Ancorato Target 25 Distribution ETF

In short

HOOY Most single-stock income funds sell calls and slam the lid on upside. HOOY sells call spreads on Robinhood stock, harvesting option premium while keeping a slice of the move above the short strike.

XXV Structured-note income without the bank. XXV sells barrier put options on single stocks, and sometimes worst-of baskets, chasing an aspirational 25% annualized payout, with the options rolled continuously. The top rung of Simplify's barrier-income ladder.

Stated mandate

HOOY The fund seeks weekly income by selling call spreads on HOOD while retaining some participation in HOOD's share-price appreciation.

XXV XXV seeks high monthly income through selling barrier put options referencing individual stocks, with possible use of worst-of baskets of individual stocks. Its 25% annualized distribution goal is aspirational and not guaranteed.

Why people hold it

  • HOOY The call-spread design is the point: the fund aims for option income while retaining some participation in HOOD's share-price appreciation, rather than capping it flat at one strike.yieldmaxetfs.com
  • 0.99% expense ratio, below the going rate for single-stock option-income funds and under the 1.07% charged by sibling HOOD income fund HOYY.
  • Income is the stated mission, on a weekly cadence, and the fund ranks among the stronger implementations in a crowded single-stock overlay peer group.yieldmaxetfs.com
  • XXV 0.85% a year sits below the going rate in its single-stock options-income cohort, where peers like BRKC and TSMY run near 1%.
  • Options are rolled automatically and continuously, and the ETF wrapper strips out the bank credit risk you take on with a traditional structured note.simplify.ussimplify.us 2
  • Built around cash flow: barriers are adjusted to levels designed to support a 25% annualized distribution target, paid monthly.simplify.us
  • Sub-advised by Ancorato Capital, a structured-products specialist, and one of the stronger implementations in a crowded options-income field.simplify.us

Worth knowing

  • HOOY Exposure is synthetic: the fund uses options on HOOD rather than owning the shares, so there are no shareholder rights and no company dividends passed through.
  • One stock drives everything. Downside largely follows HOOD, and premium income moves with HOOD's option volatility, so payout size varies period to period.
  • Launched in 2025, so the track record is short relative to older option-income strategies.
  • XXV Barriers cushion, they do not erase. Selling puts on single stocks means the fund wears the loss when a reference name breaks through its barrier.simplify.us
  • The 25% figure is an aspirational goal, not a promise, and distributions may include return of capital, which is your own money coming back.
  • Launched in late 2025 and thinly traded, so bid-ask spreads can cost more than the expense ratio on the way in and out.
