MSFWBRoundhill MSFT WeeklyPay ETF

In short

AMZW A weekly paycheck stapled to Amazon. AMZW's stated aim is to pay distributions every week while targeting 1.2 times AMZN's calendar-week total return before fees and expenses. Fee: 1.00%, no waiver.

MSFW Most leveraged single-stock funds reset daily at 2x. MSFW dials it down: 1.2 times Microsoft's calendar-week total return, a payout every week, 1.00% with no fee waiver.

Stated mandate

AMZW The Fund primarily seeks to pay weekly distributions and secondarily targets approximately 1.2 times Amazon’s calendar-week total return, 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

• AMZW The leverage is calendar-week leverage: 1.2 times AMZN's weekly total return before fees. The prospectus is blunt that the objective applies to a week, not a day or a year.sec.gov
• Modest amplification, not the 2x-daily treadmill. Roundhill builds the 120% exposure from total return swaps plus actual AMZN common stock.roundhillinvestments.com
• Cash lands weekly rather than monthly or quarterly, and the same WeeklyPay plumbing runs across Roundhill's AAPL (AAPW), MSFT (MSFW), AMD (AMDW) and COST (COSW) versions, all priced near 1.00%.roundhillinvestments.com
• At 1.00% with no fee waiver, AMZW sits near the median of its 17-fund leveraged single-stock income category, and in the upper half of that group on build quality.

• 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

• AMZW The weekly check can be your own money coming back. Roundhill discloses distributions may exceed income and gains, with the excess treated as return of capital, which lowers your cost basis.roundhillinvestments.com
• 1.2x works in both directions: a losing week in Amazon lands about 20% harder. The filing warns an investor could lose the full value of the investment within a single week.sec.gov
• One stock, swap-based, and launched in 2025: concentration risk, counterparty risk, and a thinly traded tape that can mean wider spreads than the mega-cap it tracks.roundhillinvestments.com

• 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
