In short

GOOW Alphabet exposure with a Friday paycheck. GOOW targets 1.2 times GOOGL's calendar-week total return and pays weekly, resetting its leverage at the final weekly close rather than every day.

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

GOOW The fund seeks weekly distributions and calendar-week returns equal to 1.2 times the calendar-week total return of Alphabet 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

• GOOW The leverage resets at the last weekly close, not daily, so the fund tracks GOOGL's calendar-week move instead of a chain of daily resets.sec.gov
• Income comes from a weekly formula tied to GOOGL's performance and implied volatility, not from written calls, so weekly upside is not capped by sold options.roundhillinvestments.comroundhillinvestments.com 2
• Costs 1.00% with no fee waiver, matching WeeklyPay siblings AAPW, MSFW and AMDW at 1.00% and sitting near the category median fee.
• Built from total return swaps plus GOOGL stock, and it lands in the upper half of its single-stock weekly-income peer group.sec.gov

• 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

• GOOW Leverage cuts both ways: a down week in GOOGL hits about 20% harder, and filings warn the fund could lose all value if GOOGL fell 83.33% in one calendar week.sec.govroundhillinvestments.com
• Payouts can exceed income and gains; the excess is return of capital, handing back part of your own investment.roundhillinvestments.com
• A smaller, thinly traded fund, so spreads can be wider than at the giants of the category.

• 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
