Oct. 29 is both the ex-dividend and record date. YieldMax set a $0.0961 weekly distribution for the YieldMax AI Option Income Strategy ETF (AIYY), about 21.95% above its previous payout, with payment scheduled for Oct. 30. Oct. 29 is both the ex-dividend date and the record date. YieldMax announced the distribution Oct. 28 at 6:55 a.m. ET (10:55 UTC). The new amount compares with the [previous $0.0788 distribution](), announced the prior week. AIYY’s stated distribution rate was 65.84% as of the Oct. 27 close. The rate annualizes the latest distribution using the fund’s net asset value and does not measure total return. Its 30-day SEC yield was 2.49% for the period ended Sept. 30 and excludes option income. AIYY uses call spreads on C3.ai Inc. shares to seek weekly income from option premiums. The strategy may limit the fund’s participation in share-price gains and leave it exposed to losses if the shares fall; premiums may not offset those losses. Future distributions are not guaranteed. ## Links in this article - [previous $0.0788 distribution](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/investing/37351)
