Structure and costs
YMAX shares trade on the secondary market. Creation and redemption of shares are conducted by authorized participants, a mechanism designed to help maintain alignment between the market price and the fund’s net asset value (NAV).
The fund charges a management fee and does not apply a performance fee. YMAX distributes income periodically, primarily derived from option premiums generated by the strategies implemented by its underlying ETFs.
History and evolution of the ETF
YMAX was launched during a period of growing demand for ETF structures focused on income generation through derivatives strategies.
In recent years, the fund has operated in an environment characterized by equity market volatility and shifts in U.S. monetary policy cycles. Increased investor interest in cash-flow-oriented strategies contributed to the expansion of option-based ETF products, shaping the development of funds within this segment.
