Feb 26, 2026	Feb 27, 2026	$0.1151	+21.9%	The NVDY distribution increased because heightened market volatility surrounding Nvidia's 2026 GTC conference and record-breaking $1 trillion order projections for Blackwell and Vera Rubin systems drove up implied volatility. This elevated option premium environment allowed the fund to collect significantly higher income from its covered-call strategy, directly resulting in the 21.9 percent payout increase.

Jan 29, 2026	Jan 30, 2026	$0.1076	+26.9%	The payout increase for NVDY was driven by elevated implied volatility surrounding Nvidia's fiscal 2026 performance and market volatility, which allowed the fund to collect higher option premiums. As Nvidia faced technical resistance levels near 180 dollars and 184 dollars, the resulting market uncertainty kept option premiums high, enabling the fund to generate larger distributions from its covered-call strategy.

Jan 15, 2026	Jan 16, 2026	$0.0950	-9.9%
Jan 8, 2026	Jan 9, 2026	$0.1054	-26.6%	The NVDY distribution decrease was driven by a compression in implied volatility following the stabilization of NVDA stock price movements, which reduced the options premiums available for the fund to harvest. As market volatility subsided compared to previous periods, the income generated from selling covered calls declined, directly impacting the monthly payout to shareholders.
Jan 2, 2026	Jan 5, 2026	$0.1435	+24.1%	The NVDY payout increased because NVDA experienced significant price volatility and elevated implied volatility, which allowed the fund to collect higher options premiums. This environment of heightened market uncertainty, often driven by earnings or macro-related price swings, enabled the fund to generate more income from its synthetic covered-call strategy compared to the previous month.

How does NVDY generate income?

Sells call options on NVDA to generate monthly income. Payout tracks NVDA's implied volatility and options premium environment.

You must own shares before market open on the ex-dividend date to receive each distribution. The record date is typically 1 business day after the ex-date, and payment follows within a week.

Payout variability is driven primarily by NVDA's implied volatility — when IV is high (e.g., around earnings or market events), option premiums rise, producing larger distributions. When IV compresses, payouts shrink.
