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.

MSFW MSFW seeks to provide weekly distributions and calendar-week returns, before fees and expenses, equal to 1.2 times the calendar-week total return of Microsoft common shares.

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.

• MSFW Leverage resets by calendar week, not daily. Hold it a full week and you get the 1.2x target; the day-by-day compounding drift of daily-reset funds is not the mechanism here.roundhillinvestments.com
• 1.2x is a gentler dial than the 2x single-stock crowd: 20% more Microsoft, up weeks and down weeks alike.roundhillinvestments.com
• Weekly distributions are the fund's primary stated objective, with the 1.2x weekly return second. The schedule is the point, not a side effect.roundhillinvestments.com
• At 1.00%, no fee waiver, it sits near its category median and matches Roundhill siblings AAPW and AMDW at 1.00%, and it has stayed close to its stated weekly target.

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.

• MSFW Roundhill expects a significant share of the weekly payout to be return of capital: your own money back, trimming cost basis rather than adding income.roundhillinvestments.com
• The 1.2x works both ways, amplifying down weeks by about 20%, and the fund takes no defensive positions when Microsoft slides.roundhillinvestments.com
• A 2025 launch that still trades thinly next to mainstream single-stock funds, so limit orders help. Exposure runs through total return swaps, which carry counterparty risk.roundhillinvestments.com
