Roundhill considers weight loss medications, particularly GLP-1 agonists, to be among the most groundbreaking innovations currently reshaping the global pharmaceutical landscape. This conviction underpins the Roundhill GLP-1 & Weight Loss ETF (OZEM), which is distinguished as the world's inaugural ETF exclusively focused on the GLP-1 and broader weight management sector. Notably, OZEM employs an active management approach.
OZEM (Roundhill Investments - GLP-1 & Weight Loss ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management, with a market capitalization of approximately $43.1M, a beta of 0.43 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 24.303-37.15, average daily share volume of 22K, a public-listing history dating back to 2024. These structural characteristics shape how OZEM etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 0.43 indicates OZEM has historically moved less than the broader market, dampening realized volatility and producing tighter expected-move bands per unit of dollar exposure. OZEM pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.
What is a collar on OZEM?
A collar pairs long stock with a protective out-of-the-money put financed by a short out-of-the-money call, capping both tails of the position around the current spot.
OZEM snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $33.02, ATM IV 31.10%, IV rank 4.12%, expected move 8.92%. The collar on OZEM below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on OZEM specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed OZEM IV at 31.10% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 8.92% (roughly $2.94 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated OZEM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on OZEM should anchor to the underlying notional of $33.02 per share and to the trader's directional view on OZEM etf.
OZEM collar setup
The OZEM collar below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With OZEM at $33.02 on that close, the first option leg uses a $35.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed OZEM chain at a 35-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 OZEM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Collars on OZEM hedge an existing long OZEM etf position; the long put sets a floor while the short call finances it, often run as a near-zero-cost hedge during expected volatility windows.
OZEM thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for OZEM extends from approximately $30.08 on the downside to $35.96 on the upside. A OZEM collar hedges an existing long OZEM position with a protective put while financing the put cost via a short call; when the premiums roughly offset, the collar acts as a near-zero-cost insurance band around the current spot. Current OZEM IV rank near 4.12% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on OZEM at 31.10%. As a Financial Services name, OZEM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to OZEM-specific events.
OZEM collar positions are structurally neutral (protective); the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. OZEM positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move OZEM alongside the broader basket even when OZEM-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current OZEM chain quotes before placing a trade.
