Fund Identity
What it is, who runs it, where it lives.
The Fund's primary investment objective is to seek current income.
NVYY is an actively managed ETF that sells put options (or enters into swap agreements referencing put options) on a 2x leveraged NVDA ETF (the Underlying NVDA ETF, e.g., NVDU, NVDX, or NVDL) to generate current income from option premiums. The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in derivatives contracts utilizing the Underlying NVDA ETF as the reference asset. The strategy caps upside participation in the Underlying NVDA ETF while retaining full downside exposure, offset only by premiums received. The Fund may employ either a Standard Strategy (selling put options outright) or a Defensive Strategy (put spreads) with maturities ranging from one week to one month.

Tax
Ordinary Income
The Fund sells put options contracts, either directly or through swap agreements, on a 2x leveraged NVDA ETF to collect premiums as current income. In the Standard Strategy the Fund sells puts outright; in the Defensive Strategy it sells a put and buys a lower-strike put (put spread) for partial downside protection. The Fund invests at least 80% of net assets (at notional value) in these derivatives, and gain participation is capped at the strike price of the sold put while full downside exposure remains.
