- The ETF, launched in November 2023 in partnership with Tidal Investments LLC, combines U.S. government securities with a credit spread option strategy to enhance yield.

The big picture
SoFi's aggressive 10% distribution rate on THTA reflects the growing demand for high-yield income products in a low-interest-rate environment. The ETF's strategy of combining government securities with options highlights the industry trend of using derivatives to enhance returns. With $X billion in AUM (if available), THTA's performance will be closely watched as a test case for SoFi's thematic ETF expansion strategy.
