TSLY vs NVDY — income now or growth kept?

TSLY creates synthetic TSLA exposure and sells calls against it; NVDY applies that approach to NVDA. Each fund concentrates its market exposure in one company while using option premium to support weekly distributions. The call overlay limits participation in some upward moves but does not remove the referenced stock's downside. As of July 15, 2026, TSLY's issuer-sourced price was $26.80 and NVDY's was $12.83. A lower share price is not evidence of a higher income rate or a stronger total-return record.

TSLY reported a 50.31% distribution rate and a 1.07% SEC 30-day yield. NVDY reported a 39.03% distribution rate and a 1.09% SEC yield. The distribution rate annualizes recent cash payments; SEC yield follows a standardized net-investment-income calculation. For option-income funds, premiums and return-of-capital classifications can support distributions that are much larger than SEC yield. The figures answer different questions, and neither predicts future payouts or total return.

Across the latest 12 recurring events, TSLY paid $3.8114 per share, averaging $0.31762 with amounts from $0.2593 to $0.5165. NVDY paid $1.5113, averaging $0.12594 with amounts from $0.0963 to $0.2072. Those totals increased 9.09% and 9.53%, respectively, from the preceding 12-event windows. Both latest events were dated July 16, 2026: $0.2593 for TSLY and $0.0963 for NVDY. Event-to-event history can move sharply and is not a forecast or a smooth annual growth rate.

TSLY's expense ratio was 1.07%, compared with 1.09% for NVDY. Their trailing return-of-capital shares were 65% and 42%. Return of capital generally reduces an investor's tax basis instead of being current investment income, subject to final tax reporting; it is not free money and is not automatically evidence of a defective distribution. The practical distinction in this stored data is the referenced company: TSLA outcomes drive one side and NVDA outcomes drive the other, while both retain weekly payout variability and capped-upside mechanics.
