COIW vs MSFW

COIWCRoundhill COIN WeeklyPay ETF

MSFWBRoundhill MSFT WeeklyPay ETF

In short

COIW Single-stock leverage usually means a daily reset and no income. COIW runs on a different clock: it targets 1.2 times Coinbase stock's calendar-week return, before fees, and is built to distribute every week.

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

COIW The Fund is designed to pay weekly distributions and to target calendar-week returns, before fees and expenses, equal to 1.2 times the calendar-week total return of Coinbase Global, Inc. common shares.

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

• COIW The leverage dial is set unusually low for this crowd. 1.2x, where the shelf standard is 2x or 3x. Same directional bet on Coinbase, a gentler multiple.roundhillinvestments.com
• The target is measured over calendar weeks, not trading days, so the compounding math resets on a weekly clock instead of every session.roundhillinvestments.com
• Weekly distributions are written into the fund's stated objective, not an occasional special payout the manager may or may not repeat.roundhillinvestments.com
• At a 0.99% expense ratio, the fee sits right around the norm for single-stock leveraged funds, and the build scores in the upper half of a crowded cohort.

• 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

• COIW Coinbase exposure comes through derivatives rather than owned shares, so counterparty and financing terms sit between you and the stock.
• 1.2x softens the gearing, not the underlying. COIN trades with crypto sentiment, and the weekly reset means longer holding results can drift from 1.2x the stock's move.
• Young and small: launched in 2025 with a modest asset base and moderate trading, so track record is thin and spreads deserve a look before you trade.

• 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
