DRKY Debuts: A “Druckenmiller-Inspired” Macro + Monthly-Income ETF

VistaShares has launched the VistaShares Target 15™ DRUKMacro Distribution ETF (NYSE Arca: DRKY)—a fund designed to generally mirror the top publicly disclosed holdings of Stanley Druckenmiller’s Duquesne Family Office while layering on an options strategy that targets 15% annual income, paid monthly. Notably, DRKY is not affiliated with Druckenmiller or Duquesne; it’s a public-filings “look-through” plus an income overlay.

What’s new

Macro legend, copycat construction: DRKY aims to reflect Druckenmiller’s highest-conviction disclosed positions (from quarterly 13F filings), then actively writes options to pursue a high distribution rate. Early disclosed exposures cited by launch coverage include Teva Pharmaceutical, Philip Morris International, and Taiwan Semiconductor—illustrating a mix of defensives and high-quality growth.

Monthly income target: The options overlay seeks ~15% annualized income, paid monthly. As with any options-income product, that target is not guaranteed and may sacrifice some upside for current cash flow. VistaShares

Why DRKY could appeal

Macro DNA without a family-office invite: Druckenmiller is synonymous with nimble, macro-driven equity tilts. DRKY offers a public-market way to echo that style—albeit imperfectly—plus income.

Cash flow in any tape: A high distribution target may resonate with investors who want equity exposure and steady monthly cash generation, acknowledging the trade-off with potential upside capping.

Important caveats

Copycat lag: 13F filings are delayed; real portfolios can change dramatically between disclosure dates. What you buy may differ from what Duquesne owns today.

Options risk & cap on upside: Income overlays can cushion drawdowns and smooth returns, but they typically limit participation in sharp rallies. Distributions also fluctuate with volatility and positioning.

No affiliation: The fund explicitly states it is not affiliated with Stanley Druckenmiller or Duquesne. VistaShares

How it fits with VistaShares’ “Legends + Income” suite

DRKY is VistaShares’ third “legend-inspired” income ETF, following:

OMAH — Berkshire-style core + income overlay (Buffett-inspired).

ACKY — Pershing Square-style core + income overlay (Bill Ackman-inspired).

Each applies the same Target 15™ income framework on top of a concentrated, high-conviction equity basket derived from public disclosures of a marquee investor. VistaShares

Investor takeaway

DRKY packages a Druckenmiller-inspired core with a high-income options overlay into a single ETF. The pitch is straightforward: equity exposure guided by a famed macro investor’s disclosed bets, plus monthly cash flow. The realities are just as clear: disclosure lags, active overlay risk, and potential upside caps. For the right investor profile—income first, with a taste for macro-tilted stock selection—DRKY is a timely addition to the growing “invest-like-a-legend” aisle.
