YieldBoost ETFs are structured to help investors manage short-term income strategies within their portfolios. Global investment firm GraniteShares says its options-based put-spread strategy aims to deliver a regular short-term income component.
Speaking on GraniteShares’ announcement of its recently launched YieldBoost ETFs, founder and CEO Will Rhind put forward the notion that their specific niche is selling options to potentially generate an additional income component. “People think their job is their income – until it’s not,” shared the 18-year veteran of the ETF industry. “GraniteShares wanted to create a product that gives investors control over their own income stream, with the flexibility and consistency that today’s world demands.”
Their mantra is that the firm promotes its strategies as an active approach to income investing. The company is democratizing access to strategies designed to enhance income potential by turning advanced institutional strategies into simple, transparent ETFs. Something, Rhind says, offers investors a structure that targets weekly option premiums. “It’s about making financial independence something you can actually feel every Friday.” Rhind’s reference to ‘weekly income’ reflects a philosophy aimed at providing frequent income opportunities, appealing to investors seeking more flexible financial planning. The concept aligns with investors interested in diversifying their income approaches through options-based strategies such as put spreads.
- The fund sells one ‘put’ option, essentially an agreement to buy a security if it falls to a certain price. When an option is sold, the seller receives a payment known as a premium.
- At the same time, it buys another, cheaper ‘put’ option to help limit potential downside exposure.
- The two-step process creates a ‘spread’ – seeking regular income while managing downside exposure.
YieldBoost ETFs are not leveraged funds, a structure that may appeal to more risk-conscious investors; rather, they sell options on popular leveraged ETFs, which carry higher premiums and subsequently offer the potential for higher yield relative to traditional income strategies, though outcomes depend on market conditions.
The strategy has drawn growing interest among investors, even if such yields aren’t guaranteed due to market fluctuation, but by emphasizing short-term income generation rather than long-term speculative growth, YieldBoost ETFs appeal to investors seeking steadier returns in uncertain market conditions. “Our goal is to bring institutional-grade income strategies to everyday investors,” shares Rhind. “Simple, transparent, and built for today’s economy.”
When Rhind mentions ‘transparency,’ he’s committed to exposing what goes on behind the curtain to help investors understand how YieldBoost works, as well as demystifying complex options strategies with clarity in order to empower those same individuals. “We’ve always believed that transparency breeds trust,” he explains. “Our investors know exactly what their funds are doing and how they’re generating income.”
According to the company, GraniteShares reports more than $10 billion in assets under management. Recent performance data highlights early results. And with a people-driven approach, it’s been able to seamlessly transition from launching physically-backed gold ETFs to high-income solutions. Now, with YieldBoost, the company is more than just a financial product or service; it’s reflecting broader shifts in investor preferences.
Whether you’re a young professional building towards financial freedom, a freelancer looking to supplement income, or a retiree seeking steady cash flow, GraniteShares says its YieldBoost ETFs are designed to offer investors an additional source of income potential.
