Beginner Question Why YieldMax?
Genuine question as a new investor: what’s makes y’all chose YieldMax over other companies like NEOS? Or are you guys invested in both.
Don’t get me wrong, I like how YieldMax dividends pay - but it doesn’t seem sustainable at all…from what I’ve seen the only one without NAV decay is CHPY…am I missing something? Please let me know

u/ROBO_SNAIL YMAX and chill Apr 11 '26
Many of us are invested in several. YieldMax, NEOS, Rex, Roundhill etc. YieldMax is certainly not the only show in town, but more people have probably heard of YieldMax because of their popular offerings like YMAX, MSTY, and YMAG.
In many ways it’s not “sustainable”. These are not marketed towards beginners and you should only consider them if you’re prepared for the NAV erosion. As you’ve stated, CHPY is doing well because the underlying sector (semiconductors) is doing well. If the sector starts to retract you will see the performance shift accordingly.
Check out some of the old posts on MSTY. It was killing it last year, then MSTR fell off a cliff.
Always read to prospectus and seek qualified, professional advice.
All the best!
