HOOWCRoundhill HOOD WeeklyPay ETF

MSFWBRoundhill MSFT WeeklyPay ETF

In short

HOOW Most single-stock leverage funds swing 2x and reset every day. HOOW dials it to 1.2x on Robinhood shares, resets by the calendar week, and is built to pay out along the way.

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

HOOW The fund seeks weekly distributions and calendar-week returns equal to 1.2 times the weekly total return of Robinhood Markets 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

• HOOW Leverage with the volume turned down: it targets 1.2 times Robinhood's weekly total return before fees, versus the 2x daily resets that dominate its peer group (GGLL, AAPU).
• Payouts are baked into the mandate, not an afterthought: the fund seeks weekly distributions alongside its weekly return target.
• At 0.99% a year, it undercuts the typical fee in the leveraged single-stock crowd.
• It trades actively for a fund this young, which usually means you are not fighting the spread to get in or out.

• 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

• HOOW One company, amplified. Exposure runs through synthetic positions on Robinhood shares, so the fund lives and dies with a single stock's news flow.
• The 1.2x math applies to a calendar week. Hold longer and compounding means your result can drift from 1.2 times the stock's move over that stretch.
• Launched in 2025, so the track record is short and the fund has not yet been tested across a full market cycle.

• 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
