There are a number of different YieldMax ETFs, where they write options around individual securities. A sophisticated investor doesn't need these, as they can do their own options strategies. For someone who's unsophisticated, they probably should use these (don't know enough about what they're buying).

Good product, but only for the right type of income-seeking investor. If you like the underlying name, just buy that.

You'll get a long-term erosion in your NAV, replaced by tax-efficient income. If that's what you want, appropriate in taxable accounts (not registered accounts, because you don't get the tax benefit).
