GraniteShares YieldBOOST ETFs
Data as of market close August 21, 2026 — updated every trading day by 8pm ET.
GraniteShares runs the YieldBOOST series, a family of weekly-distribution income ETFs that has quietly become one of the largest groups of weekly payers on the market — 33 funds tracked here, averaging 56.33% annualized. The strategy is distinct from the better-known YieldMax approach. A YieldBOOST fund generates income primarily by selling put options on a leveraged ETF that tracks the 2x daily performance of a single stock, rather than by writing calls against direct or synthetic exposure to the stock itself. Because options on a 2x product carry substantially more premium, the fund can target roughly double the option income of the equivalent trade on the unleveraged name — which is exactly why YieldBOOST distribution rates so often screen at the top of the yield tables.

How the YieldBOOST strategy works
Start with the underlying: a 2x daily leveraged ETF on a single high-volatility stock. Options written on that product are far more expensive than options on the stock, because the leveraged fund's daily reset amplifies realized and implied volatility. A YieldBOOST fund sells puts on it — recently using a tighter put-spread structure that caps the loss leg — collects the premium, holds collateral, and distributes the income weekly. The fund is therefore short volatility on leveraged exposure: it earns steadily while the underlying holds up, and takes losses when it drops.
That payoff shape explains everything you see in the table. Distribution rates well above conventional covered-call funds, because the premium is bigger. Sharper NAV declines in a bad quarter, because the loss leg references a leveraged instrument. And distribution amounts that swing meaningfully week to week, because put premium tracks implied volatility rather than any fixed schedule. GraniteShares has adjusted the structure over time — the tighter spread configuration was introduced to stabilise NAV while retaining a high payout — so older price history may not reflect the current risk profile.
Risk: why the year-to-date numbers look worse
Compare a YieldBOOST fund with the YieldMax fund on the same underlying and you will usually find the YieldBOOST yield higher and its year-to-date price return lower. That is not a data problem — it is the leverage. Writing puts on a 2x product roughly doubles the sensitivity of both the income and the loss, so a 20% decline in the stock translates into a much larger hit to the leveraged reference and therefore to the fund's NAV. Add the volatility decay inherent to daily-reset leveraged products and the drag compounds in choppy markets even without a sustained downtrend.
Practical implication: never size a YieldBOOST position off its distribution rate. Look at split-adjusted price history — several funds in this family have run reverse splits, which mask the scale of decline on raw charts — and compute total return over your intended holding period. The low NAV erosion screen shows which weekly funds have actually protected capital, and the WeeklyYield Score weights NAV preservation and fund quality alongside yield.

What are GraniteShares YieldBOOST ETFs?
YieldBOOST is GraniteShares' weekly-distribution income series. Each fund generates income primarily by selling put options on leveraged ETFs that track a 2x daily version of a single stock, then distributes the collected premium weekly. The structure is designed to produce roughly twice the option income of writing on the unleveraged stock.
How do GraniteShares YieldBOOST ETFs differ from YieldMax?
YieldMax funds typically write calls against synthetic long exposure to the stock itself. YieldBOOST funds sell puts on the 2x leveraged ETF tracking that stock, which raises the premium collected and therefore the distribution rate, but also amplifies the drawdown when the underlying falls. Same category, higher octane.
Do GraniteShares ETFs pay weekly dividends?
Yes — the YieldBOOST series distributes on a weekly cadence, with the ex-date and payment date typically one business day apart. Every GraniteShares fund we track appears in the table on this page with its current annualized yield and most recent distribution.
Why do GraniteShares YieldBOOST ETFs show larger year-to-date losses?
Because the option exposure references a 2x leveraged ETF rather than the stock, both the premium collected and the loss absorbed scale up. In a down or choppy market that leverage shows up as a steeper NAV decline than the equivalent YieldMax fund on the same name, even though the distribution rate looks better.
Is a GraniteShares YieldBOOST ETF safe?
It is a high-risk income product. Put-selling on leveraged exposure has a payoff profile with limited upside and substantial downside, so the appropriate use case is a deliberately sized income sleeve rather than a core position. Judge each fund on total return and NAV trend rather than on distribution rate.
