AMDWBRoundhill AMD WeeklyPay ETF

GDXWCRoundhill Gold Miners WeeklyPay ETF

In short

AMDW An AMD income play that never sells a call. AMDW holds swaps plus stock targeting 1.2 times AMD's calendar-week total return, upside uncapped, and is built to pay out every week. Fee: 1.00%.

GDXW Gold miners with the leverage dial turned down: GDXW targets 1.2x GDX's weekly total return, resetting Friday to Friday instead of daily, and pays cash out every week.

Stated mandate

AMDW The Fund seeks weekly distributions and aims to deliver 1.2 times the calendar-week total return of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. common shares, before fees and expenses.

GDXW GDXW seeks weekly distributions and weekly returns equal to 1.2 times the calendar-week total return of the VanEck Gold Miners ETF, before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

• AMDW No options sold here. AMDW uses total return swaps plus AMD stock to target 1.2 times AMD's calendar-week total return, before fees, which leaves the upside uncapped.roundhillinvestments.comroundhillinvestments.com 2
• The reset is weekly, not daily. Exposure runs from one week's closing bell to the next, so there are far fewer reset points than in a daily-reset leveraged fund.roundhillinvestments.com
• Payouts are weekly and formula-driven: each week's distribution comes off dynamic inputs including AMD's recent total return and its implied volatility.roundhillinvestments.comroundhillinvestments.com 2
• Fee of 1.00% sits with the pack (AAPW and MSFW at 1.00%, COSW 0.99%, TSYX 0.98%), and the fund has stayed close to its stated 1.2x weekly mandate.

• GDXW Leverage resets once a week (Friday close to Friday close), so the compounding math plays out over weeks rather than the daily grind most leveraged funds run on.sec.govroundhillinvestments.com
• At 0.99% a year, it undercuts the typical leveraged bull fund, and it sits in the upper half of that peer group on our review.roundhillinvestments.com
• No options selling here. Exposure comes from total return swaps plus common stock, with weekly distributions built into the design.roundhillinvestments.comsec.gov

Worth knowing

• AMDW Distributions can exceed the fund's income and gains. The excess is treated as a return of capital, which gives back your own money and can raise the tax paperwork.roundhillinvestments.com
• The 1.2x target covers one calendar week at a time. Over longer stretches, results depend on AMD's path and can differ from 1.2 times its move.roundhillinvestments.com
• Everything rides on one semiconductor stock, geared up, and the fund launched in 2025, so there is only a short record to judge it by.

• GDXW Weekly payouts are not free income. Roundhill notes distributions may exceed the fund's income and gains, making part of them a return of capital.roundhillinvestments.com
• The 1.2x multiplier magnifies GDX's down weeks too, and miners swing hard. The fund is non-diversified and leans on swap counterparties.sec.govroundhillinvestments.com
• Launched in October 2025, so the track record is short. The prospectus says it suits investors who actively monitor their holdings.roundhillinvestments.comsec.gov
