What does the HOOY total return include?

HOOY total return combines two components: the cumulative distributions you received from HOOY over the holding period, and the change in NAV (share price) across the same window. Many high-yield funds advertise distribution rates that look spectacular in isolation but mask meaningful NAV erosion. The analyzer above shows exactly how much of your HOOY return came from distributions versus price change — a 50% annualized distribution rate paired with a 30% NAV decline is a very different investment than a 50% distribution with flat NAV.

YieldMax HOOD Option Income Strategy ETF (HOOY) is issued by YieldMax. Sells call options on HOOD to generate weekly income. That strategy directly shapes the gap between headline yield and real yield: option-premium and covered-call funds tend to show large gaps, while traditional dividend ETFs and index funds usually show small ones.
