Fund Identity
What it is, who runs it, where it lives.
The Fund's primary investment objective is to seek current income.
MINY is an actively managed ETF that constructs a portfolio of 15-50 U.S.-listed equity securities of Strategic Metals & Mining Companies (covering precious metals, base metals, rare earth/critical minerals, processing/refining, and nuclear/uranium sectors) and generates income through an options portfolio on those securities and/or Strategic Metals & Mining ETFs. The primary options strategy is covered call spreads (selling a call while buying a higher-strike call) to earn net premiums on a weekly-to-monthly basis. The Fund also holds a minor allocation (up to 10%) in cash, money market funds, or U.S. Treasuries as collateral and for additional income.

Tax
Ordinary Income
The Fund primarily employs covered call spreads on some or all underlying securities, receiving premiums from counterparties on a periodic basis (generally weekly to monthly). Premiums are a key driver of distributions, though receipt of a premium does not always represent income depending on the overall transaction outcome. The Fund may also use options synthetically to gain indirect long exposure to underlying securities for tactical or regulatory reasons.

Share of each distribution you’d need to reinvest just to hold NAV flat. Higher means more of the yield is your own capital coming back.

Distribution Composition (Recent)
78% Return of Capital
ROC is not free money — it lowers your cost basis. When shares are sold, capital gains are computed against the lower basis.
Composition · Narrative
Trailing-quarter return of capital averaged 78.3% of distributions (dollar-weighted across 14 distributions payable 3/19/26–6/18/26). Most recent distribution (6/18/26): 99.7% ROC. Single-week ROC is volatile for option-income funds; the dollar-weighted quarter is the steadier read.
