The Social 50 Income ETF combines exposure to stocks widely held in SoFi member-driven accounts, with an active options strategy that seeks monthly income and long-term growth
SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI), the everything app for digital financial services, today announced the availability of a new exchange-traded fund (ETF), the SoFi Social 50 Income ETF (NYSE Arca: SFYI). SFYI invests in the top 50 U.S.-listed stocks held by SoFi Invest self-directed brokerage accounts and adds an actively managed options strategy designed to pursue monthly income distributions and growth potential.
Many investors use options strategies, like covered calls, as part of an income-oriented investment approach. But putting those strategies into practice can require a significant upfront investment, ongoing risk management, and time to execute.
SFYI offers a simpler way to access potential income by combining a professionally managed options strategy with a diversified portfolio of stocks held in SoFi Invest self-directed brokerage accounts. Through a single ETF, investors can gain exposure to an options-based income strategy without having to build and manage covered call positions on their own.
“Income-seeking investors are being challenged to rethink their traditional playbook amid an uncertain interest rate environment and economic volatility – but they may not know where to start,” said Brian Walsh, Head of Advice and Planning at SoFi. “With SFYI, we are providing investors with another way to pursue their objectives. By combining the most-widely held stocks by members of the SoFi Active Invest community with a strategy that seeks monthly income and potential growth, SFYI helps simplify options-based strategies by offering exposure through a single ETF.”
SFYI offers a simpler path to options-based income with strategies such as covered calls and call spreads. By embedding these tools directly into the fund, investors receive:
- Lower Capital Barriers: Covered call strategies typically require owning at least 100 shares of a stock. SFYI provides access to an options-based income strategy through a single ETF.
- Active Management: The fund is actively managed by professional portfolio managers, removing the need for investors to manually execute and manage options trades.
- Convenient ETF Structure: SFYI provides an efficient way for investors to access complex options strategies rather than executing them independently.
- Greater Diversification: Rather than concentrating on a single company stock, the fund's options strategy is applied across a broad portfolio of some of the most widely-held stocks, offering a more diversified approach to income investing.
SFYI builds upon SoFi’s existing ETF, the SoFi Social 50 ETF (NYSE Arca: SFYF), which invests in the top 50 stocks most widely held by members of the SoFi Active Invest community, and adds an income-generating options strategy. Current holdings for SFYF, though subject to change, include names such as Tesla, NVIDIA, and Amazon. Stocks are rebalanced monthly and weighted according to how much money members have invested in each company at the end of every month.
SFYI is a series of Tidal Trust I. Tidal Investments LLC, a Tidal Financial Group company, is the Investment Adviser to SFYI with a gross expense ratio of 0.73%. SoFi serves as brand sponsor and marketing support provider, but does not make investment decisions, provide investment advice, or otherwise act as investment adviser.
