XDTE, QDTE and RDTE are the first-ever ETFs to
sell zero-days-to-expiry (0DTE) options to generate income and
provide weekly distributions to shareholders.
NEW
YORK, Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Roundhill
Investments, an ETF sponsor focused on innovative financial
products, is pleased to announce that its suite of 0DTE covered
call ETFs, including the Roundhill S&P 500® 0DTE Covered Call
Strategy ETF (XDTE), the Roundhill Innovation-100 0DTE Covered Call
Strategy ETF (QDTE), and the Roundhill Small Cap 0DTE Covered Call
Strategy ETF (RDTE), have surpassed $1
billion in combined assets under management
(AUM).1
In addition to providing weekly distributions, the suite has
delivered strong total returns for shareholders. As of the most
recent quarter end, all three ETFs had outperformed the underlying
indices that they trade options on. This outperformance has been
attributable to several factors, including the "night effect"
captured via uncapped overnight market exposure, a unique feature
of the suite when compared against other covered call strategies in
the marketplace.

All investing involves risk, including the risk of loss of
principal. There is no guarantee the investment strategy will be
successful. The funds faces numerous risks, including options
risk, liquidity risk, market risk, cost of futures investment risk,
clearing broker risk, commodity regulatory risk, futures contract
risk, active management risk, active market risk, clearing broker
risk, credit risk, derivatives risk, legislation and litigation
risk, operational risk, trading issues risk, valuation risk and
non-diversification risk. For a detailed list of fund risks see the
prospectus.
Covered Call Strategy Risk. A covered call strategy
involves writing (selling) covered call options in return for the
receipt of premiums. The seller of the option gives up the
opportunity to benefit from price increases in the underlying
instrument above the exercise price of the options, but continues
to bear the risk of underlying instrument price declines. The
premiums received from the options may not be sufficient to offset
any losses sustained from underlying instrument price declines,
over time. As a result, the risks associated with writing covered
call options may be similar to the risks associated with writing
put options. Exchanges may suspend the trading of options during
periods of abnormal market volatility. Suspension of trading may
mean that an option seller is unable to sell options at a time that
may be desirable or advantageous to do.
Flex Options Risk. The Fund will utilize FLEX Options
issued and guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing
Corporation (OCC). In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes
insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement
obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.
Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than standard
options. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the Fund may
have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at
desired times and prices. The values of FLEX Options do not
increase or decrease at the same rate as the reference asset and
may vary due to factors other than the price of reference
asset.
QDTE & XDTE
0DTE Options Risk.**** The
Fund's use of zero days to expiration, known as "0DTE" options,
presents additional risks. Due to the short time until their
expiration, 0DTE options are more sensitive to sudden price
movements and market volatility than options with more time until
expiration. Because of this, the timing of trades utilizing 0DTE
options becomes more critical. Although the Fund intends to enter
into 0DTE options trades on market open, or shortly thereafter,
even a slight delay in the execution of these trades can
significantly impact the outcome of the trade. Such options may
also suffer from low liquidity, making it more difficult for the
Fund to enter into its positions each morning at desired prices.
The bid-ask spreads on 0DTE options can be wider than with
traditional options, increasing the Fund's transaction costs and
negatively affecting its returns. Additionally, the proliferation
of 0DTE options is relatively new and may therefore be subject to
rule changes and operational frictions. To the extent that the
OCC enacts new rules relating to 0DTE options that make it
impractical or impossible for the Fund to utilize 0DTE options to
effectuate its investment strategy, it may instead utilize options
with the shortest remaining maturity available or it may utilize
swap agreements to provide the desired exposure.
New Fund Risk. The fund is new and has a limited
operating history.
