About True Income Yield
About True Income Yield: This is a YieldCanary proprietary sustainability indicator, not a standard accounting measure of economic gain. It strips return of capital from the headline yield to show only what the fund generated from real investment activity. Return of capital reduces your cost basis and the full economic gain is only realized when you sell your shares. YieldCanary calculates ROC from performance data, not from the 19a-1 notices that fund companies publish monthly. Our estimates can differ from official issuer reports and can differ significantly from your year-end 1099 tax forms. We are actively working on incorporating 19a-1 data to make these figures more precise. For confirmed ROC figures always check the fund's official 19a-1 notice on the issuer's website or your year-end 1099.

What is RNTY's AUM and why does it matter?
RNTY currently has $6M in assets under management. RNTY is a smaller fund. While smaller AUM is not automatically a problem, funds with limited assets carry slightly more closure risk if assets decline significantly. Factor this into your position sizing. AUM alone does not determine whether a fund is healthy. Check the Canary Status and Death Clock above for the full sustainability picture.

Is RNTY available in a Roth IRA?
Yes — RNTY can be held in a Roth IRA like any standard ETF, assuming your brokerage offers it. For income ETFs with high return of capital, a Roth IRA can be a particularly advantageous account type. ROC distributions reduce your cost basis in a taxable account, creating a deferred tax liability that grows over time. In a Roth IRA that tax treatment is irrelevant as all distributions are tax-free regardless of their character. This is not tax advice. Consult a tax professional about your specific situation and account type before making investment decisions.

About the fund
Strategy & Objective
YieldMax · Monthly
The YieldMax Target 12 Real Estate Option Income ETF (RNTY) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund designed to provide investors with a targeted annual distribution of 12% along with opportunities for capital growth. It achieves this by constructing a concentrated portfolio of 15 to 30 companies operating within the real estate sector. A core strategy for income generation involves the systematic selling of call options and call spreads against the fund's equity holdings. Beyond generating income from options, RNTY also aims for capital appreciation through its direct investments in these underlying stocks. The fund's adviser diligently evaluates potential investments, taking into account the liquidity of both the stocks and their associated options, current price levels, and implied volatility. This active oversight includes frequent portfolio reviews to determine appropriate adjustments, such as adding or removing positions.
