UNHWBRoundhill UNH WeeklyPay ETF

In short

UNHW Most single-stock leverage funds reset daily. UNHW works on the calendar week, aiming for 1.2 times UnitedHealth's weekly total return before fees, with weekly payouts written into the mandate.

Stated mandate

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.

UNHW UNHW seeks weekly distributions and calendar-week returns, before fees and expenses, equal to 1.2 times the calendar-week total return of UnitedHealth Group common shares.

Why people hold it

• 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.

• UNHW The reset runs calendar week to calendar week, not day to day: the stated target is 1.2x UNH's weekly total return before fees and expenses.
• 1.2x is a low dial in a cohort where 2x is the default (UNHG, GGLL and AAPU all run double). Less amplification, in both directions.
• Payouts are part of the design, not an afterthought: the fund seeks weekly distributions alongside the leveraged UNH exposure.
• The 0.99% fee sits a touch under the typical leveraged single-stock fund, and the overall build rates in the upper tier of that crowded group.

Worth knowing

• 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

• UNHW Leverage compounds. Hold beyond a single week and results can drift away from 1.2x UNH, especially after choppy stretches.
• One stock, one sector: UnitedHealth earnings and health care policy headlines drive everything here.
• It launched in December 2025 and trades lightly, so spreads can run wider than in the cohort's household names.
