The payout is below the fund’s previous $0.1908 distribution. YieldMax set a $0.1499-per-share weekly distribution for the YieldMax Innovation Option Income Strategy ETF (OARK), with payment scheduled for Oct. 23. The fund set Oct. 22 as both the ex-dividend date and the record date. The payout is lower than the fund’s preceding weekly distribution of $0.1908 per share, which was scheduled for payment Oct. 16. TokenPost previously covered that [OARK distribution](). The fund listed a 28.11% distribution rate based on the Oct. 20 close. The rate annualizes the latest payout against the fund’s net asset value (NAV), so it does not measure total return. OARK’s 30-day SEC yield was 2.87% for the period ended Sept. 30; that measure excludes option income. OARK seeks current income by selling call spreads on the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK). Distributions can vary and may include ordinary dividends, capital gains or return of capital. Return of capital may reduce the fund’s NAV and trading price. The final tax character will be reported on Form 1099-DIV. ## Links in this article - [OARK distribution](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/investing/32058)
