▼ + stars: | 2024-03-23 | by ( Josephine Rozzelle | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

A major exchange-traded fund provider is going deep on two popular plays: megacap tech and weight loss drug stocks. "It's going to be important to kind of keep an eye on this space," Mazza told CNBC's "ETF Edge" this week. They are the Roundhill Daily 2X Long Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGX) and the Roundhill Daily Inverse Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGQ). MAGX is designed to profit from "Magnificent Seven" gains, which comprises Alphabet , Amazon , Apple, Meta Platforms , Microsoft , Nvidia and Tesla . "These are tools that can be used for traders who have short-term views on the Magnificent Seven — both positive and negative to express that view," said Mazza.

☆ Experts hesitate on weight loss ETFs amid the obesity drug boom
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-13 | by ( Anna Gleason | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

There may be a stronger case to invest in single stocks over exchange-traded funds in the weight loss space. With just two players currently at the forefront of the U.S. obesity drug market, ProShares' Simeon Hyman questions the relevance of weight loss ETFs for investors looking to buy into the industry. "If the benefits are going to incumbents, then maybe there isn't a theme per se that needs to be exploited." Strategas' Sohn also suggested that ETFs based on themes, rather than sectors or indices, might be falling out of favor with investors. So far in 2024, Novo Nordisk has gained 29% and Eli Lilly is up 30%, as of Wednesday's close.

Meanwhile, the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS) rose more than 4% and had already seen 280,000 shares traded as of Thursday afternoon, putting in on track to potentially set a new fund record for daily volume. The Roundhill fund has a simple structure that is resonating with some investors eager to buy even more of the Magnificent Seven. MAGS YTD mountain Roundhill's Magnificent Seven ETF tracks major tech stocks. In addition to capitalizing on investor demand for ways to play the megacap tech stocks, the Roundhill ETF is also a case study in fund marketing. So Roundhill pivoted out of "Big Tech" and into the trendier "Magnificent Seven."

The SEC has long rejected spot bitcoin ETF applications on the grounds they do meet its investor protection requirements. Industry hopes that position would shift surged in June when BlackRock (BLK.N), which has an almost unbroken record of SEC ETF approvals, filed for a spot bitcoin ETF. The only prospective issuer to disclose proposed investor fees so far is Ark Investment, which last week announced its spot bitcoin ETF would charge a fee of 0.8%. To be sure, issuers hoping to launch spot bitcoin ETFs have a more bullish outlook than those sticking to the sidelines. Magoon hopes the buzz surrounding a spot bitcoin ETF will draw more assets to Amplify's BLOK ETF.

☆ Cryptoverse: As good as gold? Spot bitcoin ETFs aim to whip up US demand
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-31 | by ( Suzanne Mcgee | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +5 min

Mainstream investment giants such as BlackRock (BLK.N) and Fidelity, as well as crypto-focused firms like Grayscale, have filed applications for spot bitcoin ETFs. U.S. crypto firm NYDIG estimates demand for a spot bitcoin ETF at around $30 billion. Their calculation compares the sizes of the gold and bitcoin ETFs - $210 billion versus $28.8 billion, respectively - and adjusts them for their relative volatility. BlackRock declined to comment on its pending spot bitcoin ETF, other than to confirm that it is still awaiting final SEC approval. His forecast is based on how demand evolved in smaller markets where spot bitcoin ETFs already exist, such as Canada.

A major ETF firm provider is betting the artificial intelligence boom is just starting. Roundhill Investments launched the Generative AI & Technology ETF (CHAT) less than 20 days ago. It's the first-ever exchange-traded fund designed to track companies involved in generative AI and other related technologies. Mazza notes the fund includes not just pure play AI companies like C3.ai but also large-cap tech companies such as Microsoft and AI chipmaker Nvidia . His bullish forecast comes amid concerns AI is a price bubble that will pop and take down the Big Tech rally.

Among global recessionary fears, interest rate uncertainty and a drawn-out debt ceiling debate, safe haven strategies have been at the forefront for investors in 2023. "If I'm defining 2023, I see three big trends," John Davi, chief investment officer at Astoria Portfolio Advisors, told Seema Mody on CNBC's "ETF Edge" on Wednesday. Davi said that bond ETFs have taken in $82 billion this year, compared with $55 billion flowing into equity funds. "The international markets are much further behind the interest rate cycle and the inflation cycle. The iShares MSCI Spain ETF (EWP) is up nearly 14% this year, while the iShares MSCI Germany ETF (EWG) has gained 15%.

▼ + stars: | 2023-03-22 | by ( Kevin Schmidt | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Roundhill Investments launched its new Big Bank ETF (BIGB) on Tuesday in response to the banking crisis. The fund includes no regional banks but holds equally weighted positions in six institutions: Bank of America , Citigroup , Goldman Sachs , JPMorgan Chase , Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo . Comparably, the SPDR S&P Bank ETF (KBE) holds a 0.35% ratio. The launch of the ETF comes as larger banks are increasingly being seen as relative safe havens in the sector, while regional bank stocks remain volatile this week. "With these sector ETFs in general, and more concentrated ETFs, you really want to make sure you want to overweight them."

☆ This new, concentrated ETF lets investors bet on only the biggest U.S. banks

A new ETF hitting the market this week is aimed at making it easier for investors to gain exposure to large banks, and large banks only. Roundhill Investments' Big Bank ETF (BIGB) will have equal weight positions in just six banks: Bank of America , Citigroup , Goldman Sachs , JPMorgan Chase , Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo . The Financial Select SPDR Fund (XLF) , by comparison, has more than 60 holdings, including regional banks and other financial firms, such as Berkshire Hathaway , which is its largest holding. The new fund could also underperform in the short term if the financial system stabilizes and regional bank stocks enjoy a rebound. Its biggest success by assets is the Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF (METV) , with more than $400 million in assets.
