The YieldMax RBLX Option Income Strategy ETF announced a weekly dividend distribution on May 21. The dividend amount is $0.2336 per share, and the fund trades under the ticker symbol RBLY. This payment represents a significant increase of 44.91% compared to the previous week's dividend of $0.1612. The ex-dividend date and record date are both May 21, with the payment date set for May 22.
The fund, which listed on the NYSE Arca exchange on July 28, 2025, is an actively managed ETF. It currently manages assets between approximately $13 million and $14 million and has a total expense ratio of 0.99%. Its core strategy is a synthetic covered call strategy. It primarily generates option premium income by selling call option spreads on shares of Roblox Corporation. The fund also holds U.S. short-term Treasury securities as collateral for the option positions, which provides additional interest income. The fund does not invest directly in RBLX stock. Its primary investment objective is to provide investors with consistent weekly income, with a secondary objective of maintaining a degree of participation in the price movements of RBLX.
According to data disclosed on the YieldMax website, RBLY has an annual distribution rate of 87.23% and a 30-day SEC yield of 3.08%. It is important to note that approximately 33.31% of this dividend distribution is estimated to be a return of capital. A significant portion of past distributions may have come from returns of capital, which can reduce the fund's net asset value and share price over time. Investors should be aware of this associated risk.
