YieldMax Semiconductor Portfolio Option Income ETF (CHPY) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks current monthly income and, secondarily, capital appreciation through a portfolio of approximately 15 to 30 U.S.-listed equity securities of semiconductor companies complemented by options strategies, including synthetic covered calls and short positions; it also invests in short-term U.S. Treasury securities for its fixed income portion. Top holdings include Broadcom Inc. (AVGO), NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA), Lam Research Corp. (LRCX), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), and Micron Technology Inc.

Launched on April 2, 2025, CHPY operates under Tidal Investments LLC as adviser and administrator, with headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; it forms part of the broader YieldMax ETFs suite, which includes other option income strategies across sectors like AI, tech portfolios, and single-stock ETFs. YieldMax ETFs transitioned all single-stock and portfolio option income ETFs, including CHPY, to weekly distributions declared every Tuesday and Wednesday starting in October 2025, enhancing income frequency in response to investor demand. The firm, founded by ETF veterans, continues to expand its innovative options-based product lineup without reported acquisitions, partnerships, or strategic shifts specific to CHPY in the past year.
