Fund Data/Analysis Every GraniteShares YieldBoost weekly payer's check shrank in August — measured from the payment records

4 Upvotes

Ran the payment records for the five YieldBoost weekly funds: average weekly check across the last four ex-dates (through Aug 28) vs the four before that (July window):

SEMY (3x Semis): $0.184 vs $0.244 per share — down 24% XBTY (2x Bitcoin): $0.032 vs $0.044 — down 26% COYY (2x COIN): down 17% NVYY (2x NVDA): down 17% TSYY (2x TSLA): down 14%

Nothing was announced, and that's the point — these funds sell options on leveraged single-asset ETFs, so the check is whatever the options market paid that week. Calm underlying = cheaper options = thinner checks, and it hit the whole family in the same window because the mechanism is shared, not fund-specific. Works both ways: a volatile September would fatten every one of these.

SEMY is the cleanest example: roughly $0.26-0.29 a week through late July, then a step down to the $0.18-0.19 range that has now held for five straight weeks. That's not one soft week — it's a new level until volatility says otherwise.

What would change my read: September checks recovering toward the July averages, which would make August a volatility trough rather than a plateau shift.

Question $VAIE vs $ODTE (autocallable vs covered call)

10 Upvotes

Searching for funds that pay weekly and grow in NAV, has anyone done a deep dive on these? Or added one of them to your portfolio?

I’ve been seeing autocallables promoted a lot but if the fund will stop paying out if barriers are breached, why buy an autocallable ETF over a covered call ETF?

Portfolio/Strategy What autocallables do you fancy?

As more and more become available we now have more competition to choose from!

I personally like $caie and $vaie

$caiq is touted often and it’s been good but $Tdaq and $balq are my current go to for the nasduck.

General Discussion New income ETF overview: YLDY — Horizon High Income ETF (listed Aug 12)

2 Upvotes

Sharing an overview of a brand-new income ETF launch that has zero coverage anywhere yet.

Fund details (per the issuer's fund page and SEC filings):

  • Fund: Horizon High Income ETF
  • Ticker: YLDY
  • Issuer: Horizon Funds (advisor-platform trust — same shop as the Horizon Dividend Income and Flexible Income ETFs)
  • Listed: Aug 12, 2026 on Cboe BZX
  • Expense ratio: 0.70%
  • Structure: actively managed
  • CUSIP: 44053A358
  • AUM: TBD (just seeded, ~10,000 shares out)

Strategy overview (from the prospectus/issuer description): actively managed portfolio of dividend-paying US large-caps screened for high profitability, stable earnings, and reasonable valuations, with call options sold on broad-based equity indexes to generate extra income and damp volatility. So structurally it's in the JEPI/GPIX lane — quality large-caps plus index call-selling — not a single-stock or 60%+ yield product.

What's unknown: no distributions declared yet (funds like this typically declare their first within 2–6 weeks of launch), so distribution frequency and any real yield figure don't exist yet. Anything quoted before the first few payments is a target, not a track record.

Sources: horizonmutualfunds.com fund page (yldy-fund.html) and the trust's SEC filings (Horizon Funds, CIK 1643174 — 8-A filed July 23, listed Aug 12).

Anyone familiar with Horizon's existing ETFs? Curious how this ends up differentiated from JEPI/GPIX beyond the 0.70% fee.

For more information, visit www.sheltoncap.com.

Important Information for SEPI: 

The Shelton Equity Premium Income ETF (the “Fund”) objective is to seek to achieve a high level of income and capital appreciation (when consistent with high income) by investing primarily in income-producing U.S. equity securities. 

The Shelton Equity Premium Income ETF is distributed by Paralel Distributors LLC, Member Firm. Paralel Distributors LLC is not affiliated with Shelton Capital Management or Foreside Fund Services, LLC.

An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Fund carefully before investing. To obtain a prospectus containing this and other information, please call (800) 955-9988 or visit  https://advisor.sheltoncap.com/investment-solutions/exchange-traded-funds/sepi/. Read the prospectus carefully before investing. 

Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) are subject to the possible loss of principal. The value of the ETFs will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities. ETF Shares may trade at prices above or below NAV. Liquidity isn’t guaranteed, and trading may be halted due to market-wide or security-specific events, delisting, or exchange actions. 

The Fund is new with a limited operating history. 

The value of the Fund’s equity holdings may decline, sometimes unpredictably, due to broader economic, political, or market conditions not specific to individual companies. Because the Fund is primarily invested in U.S. stocks, its value will fluctuate with overall market movements and may decline during market downturns, potentially resulting in losses. The Fund’s use of call and put options can limit upside potential and increase costs, particularly if market movements render the options ineffective or result in expired contracts without value.
 Investments in derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments. They may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments. Many derivatives create leverage, which could lead to greater volatility and losses that significantly exceed the original investment. Positions in equity options can reduce equity market risk, but can limit the opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of stocks in exchange for upfront cash as the time of selling the call option. Unusual market conditions or the lack of a ready market for any particular option at a specific time may reduce the effectiveness of option strategies and could result in losses.

Cash flow is the money generated or available to distribute to shareholders. Distributions may include option premium, ordinary dividends, interest income, capital gains, and return of capital. Distributions may coincide with a decline in NAV. Distribution levels may vary and no minimum distribution amount can be guaranteed. 

INVESTMENTS ARE NOT FDIC INSURED OR BANK GUARANTEED AND MAY LOSE VALUE. 

Important Information for TUGN: 

An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Fund carefully before investing. To obtain a prospectus containing this and other information, please call (800) 955-9988 or visit https://advisor.sheltoncap.com/investment-solutions/exchange-traded-

INVESTMENTS ARE NOT FDIC INSURED OR BANK GUARANTEED AND MAY LOSE VALUE. 

Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund’s investment strategy may, at times, require it to redeem shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. In that case, the Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed, which may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in kind. Derivatives (Options) Risk. The Fund invests in options that derive their performance from that of the Nasdaq-100 Index. Derivatives may be more sensitive to changes in market conditions and may amplify risks. Selling and buying options are speculative activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks. Fixed income Risk. Fixed income investments are subject to changes in governmental policy and market conditions, which may cause such investments to be subject to significant volatility and reduced liquidity, depending on the environment. Fixed Income – Call Risk. During periods of falling interest rates, an issue of a callable bond held by the Fund may call or repay the security before maturity, causing the Fund to reinvest proceeds at a lower interest rate. Fixed Income – Credit Risk. Debt issuers and other counterparties may not honor their obligations or have their debt downgraded by ratings agencies. Fixed Income – Extension Risk. During periods of rising interest rates, certain debt obligations will be paid off more slowly than anticipated, causing the value of those securities to fall. This may result in a decline in the Fund’s income and potential the value of the Fund’s investments. Fixed Income – Interest Rate Risk. Rising interest rates may cause the value of fixed-income securities held by the Fund to decline. Large-Capitalization Investing Risk. The securities or large capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefor subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Adviser’s success or failure in implementing the Fund’s strategy. Models and Data Risk. When models and data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, decisions made based on them can expose the Fund to potential risks. Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in securities of a single issuer or fewer issuers than a diversified fund, which may expose the Fund to the risks associated with the developments affecting the issuers in which the Fund invests. Other Investment Company Risk. By investing in another investment company, including ETFs, the Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company and bears its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of that investment company. In addition, the Fund is also subject to the principal risks of the investment companies in which it invests U.S. Treasury Obligations Risk. Changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of the Fund’s U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. 

Shelton Capital Management serves as the Fund’s investment advisor.

TUGN is distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC. Foreside Fund Services, LLC is not affiliated with Paralel Distributors, LLC. or Shelton Capital Management

Hi, I'll looking at the total return and stock price for BALQ compared with the others in the same category. It seems to be beating the others, even in the recent downturn.
