Midweek Memo: Diversification Is a Beautiful Thing
ULTY Daily Tracker: 8/13/2025
What comes next for the overall markets is anyone’s guess — but if there’s a pullback, ULTY 0.00%↑ will follow. The protective puts will help cushion the drop, but diversified strategies & holdings, and hedging can help, too.
Take today as an example: ULTY is essentially flat while some of its top-weighted stocks are down more than 4%. The fund continues to add names from various sectors, actively rebalances, and even traded put spreads for extra premium. Plus, $SLTY is launching Aug. 21 — the “short” version of ULTY, but not a 1:1 inverse.
More details and extra insights every Wednesday in the Midweek Memo section at the bottom.
ULTY Highlights:
Distribution: $0.1006

This quick-and-dirty YieldMax trade is worth a highlight: Yesterday they opened a put spread on AI 0.00%↑ and collected $4M in premium. After the stock jumped 10% today, they closed it out — locking in $3M in net profit.
Spotlight Analysis: Thinking of YQQQ as a hedge? Think again.
