Roundhill Investments Launches Magnificent Seven Covered Call ETF (MAGY)
MAGY launch expands the firm's Magnificent Seven ETF lineup, which currently has over $1.7 billion in AUM.1
NEW YORK, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Roundhill Investments, an ETF sponsor focused on innovative financial products, is excited to announce the launch of the Roundhill Magnificent Seven Covered Call ETF (MAGY), which begins trading on Cboe BZX today.
MAGY seeks to provide current income on a weekly basis by employing a covered call strategy on the Magnificent Seven, a group of stocks that collectively represent roughly 29% of the S&P 500.2 MAGY implements a traditional covered call strategy by purchasing shares of the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS) and writing calls against its MAGS holdings.
"While the Magnificent Seven stocks have become synonymous with global tech leadership," said Dave Mazza, CEO of Roundhill Investments, "they have recently faced headwinds as markets have sold off sharply. MAGY seeks to deliver both participation in these dynamic companies while reducing volatility and capturing weekly option premium income for investors."
Following today's launch, Roundhill offers Magnificent Seven exposure for all types of market participants.
- The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS) offers growth-focused investors equal-weight exposure to the Magnificent Seven.
- The Roundhill Daily 2x Long Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGX) provides traders with amplified daily exposure to the Magnificent Seven.
- The Roundhill Magnificent Seven Covered Call ETF (MAGY) seeks to provide weekly distributions for income-oriented investors by writing calls on the Magnificent Seven.

The Fund currently expects, but does not guarantee, to make distributions on a weekly basis. These distributions may exceed the Fund's income and gains for the Fund's taxable year. Distributions in excess of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital. Distributions rates caused by unusually favorable market conditions may not be sustainable. Such conditions may not continue to exist and there should be no expectation that this performance may be repeated in the future. Please see the Supplemental Tax Information section of the webpage for more information on the distribution composition including the estimated return of capital.

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 value increases in the MAGS ETF above the strike price of the sold call options, but continues to bear the risk of the MAGS ETF price declines. The premiums received from the options may not be sufficient to offset any losses sustained from MAGS ETF price declines. 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 so.
Active Management Risk. The Fund is actively-managed and its performance reflects investment decisions that the Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser makes for the Fund. Such judgments about the Fund's investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and the strategies employed by the Fund fail to produce the intended results, the Fund could underperform as compared to other funds with similar investment objectives and/or strategies, or could have negative returns.
FLEX Options Risk. Trading FLEX Options involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. The Fund may experience losses from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless. The FLEX Options are listed on an exchange; however, no one can guarantee that a liquid secondary trading market will exist for the FLEX Options. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent, the value of the Fund's FLEX Options may decrease. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, liquidating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium (for written FLEX Options) or acceptance of a discounted price (for purchased FLEX Options) and may take longer to complete.
Concentration Risk. The Fund may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Fund's investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Fund's investments are concentrated in the securities and/or other assets of a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector, market segment or asset class.
MAGS ETF Risks. The Fund will have significant exposure to the MAGS ETF through its investments in shares of the MAGS ETF and investments in financial instruments that provide exposure to the MAGS ETF and the securities it holds. Accordingly, the Fund will be subject to the risks of the MAGS ETF.
New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized investment company with a limited operating history.
Non-Diversification Risk. As a "non-diversified" fund, the Fund may hold a smaller number of portfolio securities than many other funds.
Roundhill Financial Inc. serves as the investment advisor. The Fund is distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC, which is not affiliated with Roundhill Financial Inc., U.S. Bank, or any of their affiliates.
Glossary
Options: An option is a contract sold by one party to another that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) a stock at an agreed upon price within a certain period or on a specific date.
Covered Call Strategy: 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.
Out-of-the-Money Options: Out-of-the-money options are options whose strike price is above the market price of the underlying asset.
Notional Exposure: The total value controlled by the Fund's portfolio of option contracts. Notional exposure is calculated by multiplying the number of contracts held by the underlying index price and multiplying this product by the contract multiplier of $100.
Strike: The price at which an owner of a call (put) option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase (sell) a stock for at the time of the option's expiration.
Upside: Reflects the degree of upside potential that could be experienced by a reference asset, expressed as a percentage, before it moves above the strike price of an associated short call option. The likelihood that the short call option will be exercised effectively creates a cap on potential gains.
Expiration Date: The last date that an option contract is valid before it expires and ceases to exist.
Days to Expiry: The number of calendar days until an option contract's expiration date.
