- The latest check: $0.2740 per share, ex-dividend September 21, 2026 — the 65th distribution in our record, which starts on June 30, 2025.
- Trailing twelve months: $12.700 per share across 52 weekly payments. The fund is not yet two years old, so no year-over-year comparison is offered here.
- What it actually does: Roundhill targets 1.2 times (120%) the calendar-week total return of Meta shares through swap agreements. Leveraged exposure, not option premium.
- What the share price did: $49.08 a year ago to $31.62 now, a fall of 36%. FBY, the option-premium fund on the same stock, fell 40% over the same year.
- The fee: Roundhill lists an expense ratio of 0.99%, with an inception date of June 18, 2025.
The 120% target is weekly and stated before fees and expenses. It is not a promise about the year, and weekly compounding means a year of 120% weeks does not add up to 120% of Meta's annual return. A big weekly check isn't the same as a profit. A leveraged fund paying $12.700 per share while its price falls 36% is not paying you from profits; it is distributing from a pot that is also shrinking. Both numbers belong in the same sentence.
Each point below is one real METW distribution since the fund's first on June 30, 2025. Just over a year of weekly payments — enough to see the rhythm, not enough to call it a trend.

Each point is one payment; the line ends at the most recent payout. The table below totals them by year.
- Trailing 12 months: $12.31 per share across 52 payments — paying since Jun 2025, so no full prior-year comparison yet. What a change like that does to your income →
- Current pace: recent payments annualize to $12.69 — 3% above the trailing figure. When those two disagree, the trailing yield is quoting the past. Live cut & raise board →
- Share price, same 12 months: down 40% (dividends excluded) — income and principal are one story. Erosion Index →
- Record: 66 payments over 15 months; the largest single payment was $0.825 (Aug 2025).
- Payment drops ≥20% below trend, last 24 months: 21. Get alerted to the next one →
- Payment steadiness: the last 12 checks wobble ±25% around their median. Compare that against any fund →

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Distribution / Share |
|---|
"Next expected" is estimated from METW's recent payment rhythm — the fund announces exact dates shortly before each payout, and the data feed can lag a few days. You must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout; the cash typically arrives days later. See every fund's upcoming date on the live dividend calendar.
A real total-return estimate, assuming every payout was reinvested — including what happened to the share price. Before taxes and fees. Past performance does not predict the future.
Meta has two single-stock income funds in our records and they are built on opposite principles. FBY sells call spreads and distributes option premium. METW takes leveraged swap exposure targeting 120% of Meta's weekly total return. Different machinery entirely.
Their share prices landed close together. FBY fell 40% over the past year; METW fell 36%. Two opposite constructions on one stock, four points apart, which points at the underlying doing most of the work rather than the wrapper. Four points is not nothing, though, and it is the leveraged fund that held up slightly better over this particular year.

When Is METW's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
METW pays weekly, per Roundhill's own fund page. The exact date of each payout is announced by the fund only shortly beforehand, so no site can promise the next date — but the live schedule box above shows the most recent ex-dividend date and the expected window for the next one, computed from METW's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
What a Year of Weekly Checks Actually Produced
METW paid $12.700 per share over the trailing twelve months, across 52 weekly checks. Over roughly the same span its share price fell from $49.08 to $26.30. Those two figures need to be read together, because a holder's actual outcome is the sum of them, not either one alone. This page exists so that sum is possible to calculate rather than guess at.
Leverage in Both Directions
A 120% weekly target is symmetric: it amplifies good weeks and bad ones alike. What breaks the symmetry over time is compounding. A fund that loses and gains the same percentage in consecutive weeks does not end where it started, and the effect gets worse the choppier the market is. That is a mathematical property of the structure rather than a criticism of the manager, and it applies to every fund built this way.
What to Watch From Here
Whether the weekly distribution holds near current levels as the asset base moves. What the record looks like at the two-year mark, when a year-over-year comparison finally becomes honest. And how it reads next to FBY on the comparison tool, since the two funds are the cleanest natural experiment we track: same stock, opposite designs.
