About Roundhill Russell 2000 0DTE Covered Call Strat ETF

RDTE is an actively managed ETF that seeks to generate income through a covered call strategy on the Russell 2000 Index. The fund primarily holds a portfolio of short-term U.S. government securities and sells 0-DTE (zero days to expiration) index call options on the Russell 2000. This highly tactical strategy aims to maximize premium capture by exploiting the high time decay of options that are expiring on the same day, which provides enhanced income but also exposes the fund to significant volatility and risks associated with daily options settlement.
