The Roundhill Russell 2000 0DTE Covered Call Strategy ETF (RDTE) distinguishes itself as the inaugural exchange-traded fund to incorporate options with zero days until expiration (0DTE) on the Russell 2000 Index. Its primary mandate is to deliver daily market exposure to the Russell 2000 and simultaneously cultivate earnings. This revenue is generated through the consistent sale of out-of-the-money 0DTE call options on the Index every morning. Importantly, RDTE is an actively managed investment product.

Distributions are highly variable, often classified as return of capital, which amplifies NAV drawdown and undermines long-term sustainability.
