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

RBLY RBLY seeks weekly income by selling call spreads on RBLX while retaining participation in RBLX 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

• RBLY Call spreads, not plain covered calls. The short leg generates the income, the long leg is designed to leave room to participate in RBLX appreciation beyond it.yieldmaxetfs.com
• A 0.99% expense ratio sits under the typical fee in its single-stock option-income peer group, where the median runs above 1%.
• Distributions are monthly, so premium collected from the options book comes back on a set cadence rather than in lumps.

• 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

• RBLY One stock, one story. Exposure is synthetic and built entirely around Roblox, so the ride tracks a single volatile name rather than a diversified basket.
• Launched in 2025, still small and thinly traded, which tends to mean wider bid-ask spreads than the established names in the category.
• The income is option premium, not a corporate dividend, so the size of the payout moves with RBLX volatility and the strikes the fund can write.

• 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.
