Roundhill Investments launched five new WeeklyPay ETFs, each aiming to deliver weekly dividends without sacrificing upside or using options.

The new additions include:

Roundhill AMZN WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:AMZW), following Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN),
Roundhill BRKB WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:BRKW), following Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK),
Roundhill HOOD WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:HOOW), following Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD)
Roundhill META WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:METW), following Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META)
Roundhill NFLX WeeklyPay ETF (BATS:NFLW), following Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX)

These launches bring the WeeklyPay family to 10 ETFs. Each fund aims to capture 120% of the aggregate return of its underlying security each calendar week, as well as a regular distribution.

That’s a clear divergence from the way most single-stock income ETFs operate, usually through selling covered calls, which exchange upside potential for option premiums. And with more than $15 billion flowing into such a strategy, the company obviously believes there is room for disruption.

A Different Kind Of Income ETF

Instead of depending on derivatives, Roundhill’s WeeklyPay ETFs employ leverage to enhance returns, aiming at 1.2x the performance of the underlying stock on a weekly basis. That multiplier, naturally, involves risk, particularly in downward environments, but it also avoids having investors forego gains in a bull market, as with covered call strategies.

The money also makes weekly payments, which might be enticing for income-oriented investors tired of the slow dribble of dividends.

From Tech Giants To Meme Stocks

Roundhill’s current roster already boasts single-stock ETFs tied to such names as Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), and Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR). But the company isn’t yet done.

It has applied for additional WeeklyPay ETFs tracking an eclectic roster: from blue chips such as Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), to semicon-weighty names such as AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) and ASML Holding (NASDAQ:ASML), to speculative darlings such as Reddit (NYSE:RDDT), DraftKings (NASDAQ:DKNG), and MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR).

The message is plain: Roundhill is looking to track the entire gamut of investor demand—tech, momentum, income, and high-risk stocks—all under one umbrella.

What To Watch

While the structure has upside potential, it’s not without its cautionary tales. Leveraged exposure, even at a 1.2x rate, amplifies gains and losses as much as it amplifies the underlying. And while the absence of options sidesteps issues of premium decay and call-away risk, investors should still look at how distributions are made and what level of volatility to anticipate.
