$WEEK-For The In-between

An Interesting New Weekly Paying ETF I Discovered

📌 Interesting Facts About $WEEK-Roundhill Weekly T-Bill ETF

  • First ETF with Weekly Distributions: $WEEK is the first U.S. Treasury ETF to pay weekly income. Most bond/T-Bill ETFs pay monthly. Perfect for investors who like the “paycheck” feeling.

  • Current Yield: Roughly 4% annualized$100 per share invested would generate roughly $0.078 per week. This could change as the Federal Reserve changes rates.

  • Short-Dated T-Bills: Invests in 0–3 month Treasuries with minimal price volatility.

  • Stable NAV Goal: Not tracking an index — just keeping NAV close to $100. Minor fluctuations happen but are tiny with ultra-short bonds.

  • Weekly Dividends: Share price drops slightly on the ex-dividend date, but cash from T-Bill maturities keeps NAV stable.

  • Active Management: Managers roll bills and invest cash efficiently, smoothing out small swings.

Additional Perks

  • Ticker Symbol Genius: Literally WEEK — all about weekly income.

  • Liquidity & Convenience: Trades like a stock, no auction waiting.

  • Automatic Rolling: Keeps the portfolio fresh without you lifting a finger.

  • Accessibility: Available in brokerage accounts, IRAs, margin accounts. TreasuryDirect requires extra setup.

  • Alternative to Cash: Can act as a temporary home for money between trades, earning yield instead of sitting idle in a checking or brokerage cash balance.

📌 Why Not Buy T-Bills Directly?

  • WEEK smooths payments weekly vs. lump sum at maturity.

  • Handles reinvestment automatically.

  • Easier to rebalance or use as collateral.

  • Sell anytime, more liquid than buying individual T-Bills.

📌 Key Risks

  1. Market Risk: The value of the ETF can fluctuate due to changes in interest rates, economic conditions, or market sentiment.

  2. Credit Risk: Although U.S. Treasury bills are considered low-risk, any changes in the creditworthiness of the U.S. government could impact the fund's performance.

  3. Interest Rate Risk: Rising interest rates can lead to a decrease in the value of existing Treasury bills, affecting the fund's returns.

  4. Liquidity Risk: In times of market stress, the ability to buy or sell shares at desired prices may be limited.

  5. Operational Risk: The fund is subject to risks arising from various operational factors, including the possibility of errors or failures in processes, systems, or human factors.

  6. Return of Capital Risk: Distributions may exceed the fund's income and gains, resulting in a return of capital, which could affect the fund's long-term value.
