This ETF seeks current income by selling put options on leveraged ETFs that aim to deliver twice the daily performance of Circle Internet Group (CRCL), with the strategy targeting approximately twice the income from option premiums compared to selling options directly on CRCL itself. The fund maintains a non-diversified portfolio of at least 80% derivatives contracts referencing the underlying leveraged ETF and carries a 1.07% expense ratio. It distributes income weekly and currently offers a very high distribution rate, making it suited to investors prioritizing near-term income generation, though the combination of leverage, options strategies, and concentration in a single cryptocurrency-related company creates substantial risk.

How Dividend Vision calculates yield and returns
Distribution rate (83.77%) is the latest regular payout annualized by the fund's stated frequency, divided by the last close. Issuers often publish this as βDistribution Rateβ on the fact sheet. Trailing-12-month yield (51.79%) is the sum of distributions paid in the last 12 months, split-adjusted, divided by the last close. It lags a recent raise or cut. Total return uses split-adjusted close with distributions reinvested on the ex-dividend date (a modeling convention, not the cash-settlement date) from the first stored bar on or after inception through the latest bar, compared with the same window on the benchmark. That is the security's total return, not your personal gain/loss.
