Description: IWMW Russell 2000 BuyWrite December 29, 2025
The iShares Russell 2000 BuyWrite ETF (IWMW) implements a covered-call strategy by holding the iShares Russell 2000 ETF and selling one-month call options on the Russell 2000 Index, aiming to generate option premium income while tracking the underlying equity exposure.
Key metrics to watch include the fund’s option-writing premium yield (typically 5-7% annualized) and its implied volatility relative to the broader market (often 10-15% lower than the VIX). Performance is sensitive to small-cap earnings momentum and macro-level risk appetite, with sector weightings heavily tilted toward technology, consumer discretionary, and health care-areas that historically benefit from higher implied volatilities during earnings seasons.
