- Roundhill BRKB WeeklyPay ETF (BRKW) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to deliver weekly distributions to shareholders alongside calendar week returns, before fees and expenses, equal to 1.2 times (120%) the total return of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Class B common shares (NYSE: BRK.B); the fund achieves this exposure through investments in total return swap agreements, BRK.B common stock, U.S. Treasury bills, and cash equivalents. Launched on June 18, 2025, and listed on Cboe BZX Exchange, BRKW targets investors desiring amplified weekly performance from Berkshire Hathaway combined with recurring income streams, with a net expense ratio of 0.99% and holdings concentrated in leveraged swaps (approximately 99.5%), BRK.B shares (around 20%), Treasury bills, and government obligations. The ETF operates within the financials sector, focusing on large-cap U.S. equities via a leveraged single-stock strategy without currency hedging.
Roundhill BRKB WeeklyPay ETF forms part of the broader Roundhill WeeklyPay ETF suite offered by Roundhill Investments, an SEC-registered investment adviser founded in 2018 and headquartered at 154 West 14th Street, New York, New York, which specializes in innovative ETFs encompassing thematic, leveraged, and income-focused products managing over $1 billion in assets. Geographically, BRKW provides domestic U.S. market exposure as a developed-market equity fund domiciled in the United States and available for sale primarily to U.S. investors. There are no reported subsidiaries, parent companies, or external relationships specific to BRKW, though Roundhill Investments maintains a seed funding history including a $1.6 million Seed VC round backed by investors such as BITKRAFT.
In recent developments, Roundhill Investments launched BRKW on June 18, 2025, as its latest addition to the WeeklyPay ETF series, expanding the firm's actively managed single-stock leveraged income offerings amid growing demand for weekly payout vehicles with enhanced exposure. No acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, name changes, or operational reorganizations have been announced for BRKW or its sponsor within the past 1-2 years; the ETF's inception represents the primary strategic milestone, with ongoing weekly distributions commencing post-launch and total net assets reaching approximately $9.76 million by late 2025. This launch aligns with Roundhill's focus on innovative ETF structures, positioning BRKW to capture interest in leveraged Berkshire Hathaway performance amid stable market conditions for the underlying stock.
