OARK Yield and Total Returns
YieldMax® Innovation Option Income Strategy ETF · Weekly payer · Data updated September 30, 2026 · Full OARK Scorecard →
YieldMax® Innovation Option Income Strategy ETF (OARK) currently yields 35.00% and pays distributions on a weekly schedule. Since inception, OARK has delivered a total return of 61.00%, which includes both price movement and all distributions paid.
Yield tells you what the fund is paying out right now. Total return since inception tells you what shareholders have actually earned over the fund's full life once price changes are factored in. For income ETFs, the two numbers together give a fuller picture than either one alone, which is why both are tracked side by side on this page and refreshed daily.
One caveat when comparing funds: since-inception figures depend on each fund's launch date. A fund that launched into a bull market will show a stronger lifetime return than an identical strategy that launched a year later, so use the number to judge a fund against its own yield, not head-to-head against funds with different inception dates.
