Understanding the Performance Metrics
Investors should note the 30-Day SEC Yield for each fund, which was reported as negative for all three ETFs as of November 30, 2024.

It is essential for potential investors to understand that past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may differ, necessitating cautious examination before allocation.
Distributions Explained
Roundhill Investments aims to make distributions on a weekly basis, although this practice is not guaranteed. Potential investors should be aware that distributions can surpass the funds' earnings and gains. There may also be distributions that exceed the current and accumulated earnings, which would be recognized as a return of capital. The possibility of distributions based on particularly favorable market conditions should also be scrutinized, as such conditions may not remain constant.
When considering these investment options, it is crucial to remember the inherent risks involved, including market volatility and the specific risks associated with the covered call strategy employed by these ETFs.
