Stated mandate

TDAX The fund seeks daily leveraged investment results by magnifying 130% of the daily performance of the TappAlpha Innovation 100 Growth & Daily Income ETF.

Why people hold it

• AAPW Leverage dialed down, not up: 120% of Apple's calendar-week total return before fees and expenses, with the objective defined over the week and nothing longer.sec.gov
• Paying is the point. The prospectus lists weekly distributions as the primary objective and the 1.2x weekly return as the secondary one, an unusual order of operations.sec.gov
• At 1.00% with no waiver, it sits right alongside its WeeklyPay siblings (AMDW 1.00%, COSW 0.99%) and TSYX at 0.98%, and near the category median fee.
• In a peer group of leveraged single-stock income funds, this ranks among the stronger implementations, hitting its stated weekly target closely.

• TDAX The multiple is 130%, not 200% or 300%. Same daily-reset machinery as the 2x and 3x crowd, dialed to a gentler setting.sec.gov
• It levers a basket, not a single name: TDAQ holds Nasdaq-100 exposure and writes same-day calls, so one earnings miss doesn't own the whole trade.tappalphafunds.com
• At 0.97% net of a waiver through April 30, 2028, it sits under single-stock income peers AAPW and MSFW at 1.00% and TSYX at 0.98%, and near the category's typical fee.
• Distributions arrive monthly, carried up from the income engine underneath.tappalphafunds.com

Worth knowing

• AAPW The weekly reset is the mechanism and the catch: hold past Friday and your result can drift from 1.2x Apple's move. A single week can take the whole investment.sec.gov
• Distributions can exceed the fund's income and gains. The excess is return of capital, your own money handed back, which reduces net asset value.roundhillinvestments.com
• It is a small fund that trades lightly, and its Apple exposure comes through swaps with a counterparty plus Treasury collateral rather than shares.sec.gov

• TDAX Exposure resets each close. Over longer stretches your result is compounded daily moves, which the prospectus says will very likely differ from 130% of TDAQ's return.sec.gov
• TDAQ sells calls expiring the same day, which trims how much of a big up-move passes through. TDAX magnifies what's left, not the index's full move.tappalphafunds.com
• The 0.97% is net of a waiver running to April 30, 2028; the stated gross figure is 1.59%. Launched January 2026, so the live record is short.
