What is the latest IWMW fail-to-deliver count?
As of Apr 30, 2026, iShares Russell 2000 BuyWrite ETF (IWMW) fail-to-deliver quantity is 163 shares, with a 30-day average of 274 shares. The SEC publishes FTD data twice monthly: first-half data at month-end, second-half around the 15th of the following month.

How do IWMW FTDs affect options pricing?
Persistent FTDs flag hard-to-borrow conditions that distort put-call parity: in HTB names, synthetic long stock (long call + short put at the same strike) trades below the frictionless-parity price by approximately the borrow rebate. The discount equals the lending revenue forgone by holding the synthetic instead of actual shares. Reg SHO threshold-list inclusion follows from sustained FTD persistence.
