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.

This is not financial advice — always do your own research and consult a qualified financial professional before making investment decisions.

Is TSYY's return of capital good or bad?

TSYY's current ROC estimate is 100.0%. A high ROC without NAV stability can indicate the fund is returning your own principal as income while the underlying value declines. The Death Clock and Canary Status reflect this in TSYY's current health rating. Note: YieldCanary calculates ROC from performance data, not 19a-1 filings.

What is TSYY's AUM and why does it matter?

TSYY currently has $60M in assets under management. TSYY 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 TSYY available in a Roth IRA?

Yes — TSYY 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

GraniteShares · Weekly

The Fund's primary aim is to double (200%) the income earned from writing options on Tesla Inc. (TSLA). This is achieved by selling options on leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are designed to deliver two times the daily performance of TSLA. A secondary goal is to capture the performance of these underlying leveraged ETFs, though any potential investment gains are capped. Furthermore, the fund has the option to implement downside protection measures, which might affect the overall net income generated.
