Roundhill Cannabis ETF (WEED) Waives Fees to 0.00%
July 1, 2024--WEED ETF will offer expense ratio of 0.00% through July 1, 2025
Roundhill Investments, an ETF sponsor focused on innovative financial products, has announced a fee waiver for its Roundhill Cannabis ETF (Cboe: WEED). The WEED ETF, which offers targeted exposure to leading U.S. multi-state operators, will charge an all-in expense ratio of 0.00% until at least July 1, 2025.
"While regulatory reform for the cannabis sector has been slower than anticipated, we believe that the upcoming reclassification to Schedule III can serve as a much needed catalyst for the space," said Dave Mazza, Chief Executive Officer at Roundhill Investments. "As part of introducing our fee waiver, we would encourage investors to consider WEED as a targeted vehicle to express a view on positive momentum in U.S. cannabis."

BNY Mellon Insights-Active ETFs and SMAs Thrive As Mutual Funds Lose More Ground U.S. Distribution Pulse Quarterly|Q2 2024
June 20, 2024--Mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and separately managed accounts (SMAs) all saw net sales grow in Q1 2024.
With United States economic growth more sluggish than anticipated in Q1 and inflation proving hard to tame, investors continue to face tough questions about how to manage their money. Against this backdrop, the market experienced the highest inflows since Q4 2021 for mutual funds, driven by record fixed income growth.
Industry wide, of the $78 billion that flowed into fixed income mutual funds, $74 billion went into active management1 with investors seeming to prioritize fund returns over real returns despite the impact of inflation.
Looking at Q1 positive net sales at wirehouses, two of the top three performers were mutual funds on rep-as-portfolio manager programs (multisector bond and intermediate core-plus bond). But in contrast to the fixed-income bounce back, U.S. equity mutual funds experienced deep outflows. As a result, mutual funds lost more of their overall share of wirehouse assets to both exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and separately managed accounts (SMAs).
