BlackRock added a pair of options-income ETFs to the menu today, launching $IVVW and $IWMW. I'm guessing that the "W" in their tickers is short for "Write" given that both are call-writing strategies. https://t.co/sd5WpcYHj4
Looks like BlackRock/iShares is leaning into the Buffer & Defined Outcome ETF trend still. Just filed for 4 "Max Buffer" ETFs https://t.co/8cRjcPV78y
BlackRock's models made big boy $4b trade yest: sold $IVV and and bought $IVW which is SPX growth, they like tech and growth right now bc that's where the earnings are. No $IBIT buying yet, there's rules around waiting etc (but deep down I know they want to!) https://t.co/YFAOSXHfbW


BlackRock has expanded its ETF offerings with the launch of U.S. equity ETFs that employ covered-call strategies, amid a surge in interest in option-based funds. The financial giant executed a significant $4b trade by selling $IVV and purchasing $IVW, indicating a strategic shift towards SPX growth sectors like technology, which are currently seen as strong earnings drivers. Additionally, BlackRock is exploring the Buffer & Defined Outcome ETF trend, having filed for four 'Max Buffer' ETFs. The firm also introduced a pair of options-income ETFs, $IVVW and $IWMW, which are presumed to focus on call-writing strategies.
