NEW
YORK, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 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,

"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,"

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."

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses to 0.00% until at least

The statements and forecasts above are subject to significant
business, economic, and competitive uncertainties. Accordingly,
there can be no assurance that such statements, estimates and

the accuracy or completeness of such statements and forecasts. Such

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of
principal.
Because the Fund is "non-diversified," it may invest a greater
percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a
lesser number of issuers than if it was a diversified fund. As a
result, the Fund may be more exposed to the risks associated with
and developments affecting an individual issuer or a lesser number
of issuers than a fund that invests more widely. This may increase
the Fund's volatility and cause the performance of a relatively
small number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund's
performance.
Companies involved in the cannabis industry face intense
competition, may have limited access to the services of banks, may
have substantial burdens on company resources due to litigation,
complaints or enforcement actions, and are heavily dependent on
receiving necessary permits and authorizations to engage in medical
cannabis research or to otherwise cultivate, possess or distribute
cannabis. Since the cultivation, possession, and distribution of
cannabis can be illegal under United
States federal law under certain circumstances, federally
regulated banking institutions may be unwilling to make financial
services available to growers and sellers of cannabis.
Cannabis-related companies are subject to various laws and
regulations that may differ at the state/local and federal level.
Laws and regulations related to the possession, use (medical or
recreational), sale, transport and cultivation of marijuana vary
throughout the world, and the Fund will only invest in non-U.S.
Cannabis Companies if such companies are operating legally in the
relevant jurisdiction. These laws and regulations may (i)
significantly affect a cannabis-related company's ability to secure
financing, (ii) impact the market for marijuana industry sales and
services, and (iii) set limitations on marijuana use, production,
transportation, and storage.
In addition, cannabis-related companies are subject to the risks
associated with the greater agricultural industry, including
changes to or trends that affect commodity prices, labor costs,
weather conditions, and laws and regulations related to
environmental protection, health and safety. Cannabis-related
companies may also be subject to risks associated with the
biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. These risks include
increased government regulation, the use and enforcement of
intellectual property rights and patents, technological change and
obsolescence, product liability lawsuits, and the risk that
research and development may not necessarily lead to commercially
successful products.
As an ETF, the fund may trade at a premium or discount to NAV.
Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and
are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Due to the costs of
buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed
by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares
may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making
small investments.
The Fund is a recently organized investment company with no
operating history. Please see the prospectus for details of these
and other risks.
Fund is distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC.
Foreside Fund Services and Roundhill Investments are unaffiliated
companies.
