- The latest check: $0.1660 per share, ex-dividend September 21, 2026 — the 60th distribution in our record, which starts on August 4, 2025.
- Trailing twelve months: $10.565 per share across 52 weekly payments. The fund has not yet existed for two full years, so there is no honest year-over-year comparison to make.
- What it actually does: Roundhill targets 1.2 times (120%) the calendar-week total return of Microsoft shares, using swaps. This is leveraged exposure, not option premium — a different machine from the YieldMax fund on the same stock.
- What the share price did: $46.29 a year ago to $31.58 now, a fall of 32%. Leverage works in both directions, and the distributions come out of the same pot.
- The fee: Roundhill lists an expense ratio of 0.99%, with an inception date of July 24, 2025.
The 120% target applies to a calendar week, before fees and expenses — not to a year. Weekly leverage compounds in ways that make the long-run outcome diverge from 120% of Microsoft's annual move, usually unfavourably in choppy markets. Note too that a large weekly distribution from a leveraged fund isn't the same as earned income; money paid out is money no longer compounding inside the fund, which shows up in the share price.
Each point below is one real MSFW distribution since the fund's first on August 4, 2025. The record is short by design — this fund launched in July 2025 — so read the chart as a rhythm, not yet as 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: $10.33 per share across 52 payments — paying since Aug 2025, so no full prior-year comparison yet. What a change like that does to your income →
- Current pace: recent payments annualize to $8.84 — 14% below the trailing figure. When those two disagree, the trailing yield is quoting the past. Live cut & raise board →
- Share price, same 12 months: down 29% (dividends excluded) — income and principal are one story. Erosion Index →
- Record: 61 payments over 14 months; the largest single payment was $0.979 (Aug 2025).
- Payment drops ≥20% below trend, last 24 months: 18. Get alerted to the next one →
- Payment steadiness: the last 12 checks wobble ±23% around their median. Compare that against any fund →

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Distribution / Share |

"Next expected" is estimated from MSFW'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.
MSFW and MSFO both pay weekly on Microsoft, and they are not doing the same thing at all. MSFO sells call spreads and distributes the option premium it collects. MSFW takes leveraged exposure through swaps, targeting 120% of Microsoft's weekly total return, and distributes from that.
The distinction matters when the stock falls. Premium income has a floor of sorts, because options keep being worth something. Leverage does not: 120% of a decline is a bigger decline. MSFW's share price went from $46.29 to $31.58 over the past year, down 32%, while it paid $10.565 per share across 52 weekly checks. Both facts are the same machine working as designed.

When Is MSFW's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
MSFW 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 MSFW's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
A Short Record, Read Honestly
MSFW has been paying since August 2025. That is not enough history to say anything about how it behaves across a full market cycle, and this page will not pretend otherwise. What the 60 payments do establish is the rhythm: weekly, without a missed week so far, totalling $10.565 per share over the trailing twelve months.
Where the Distributions Come From
With a leveraged total-return construction, distributions are not obviously separable from capital. A fund can pay out generously while its share price falls, because the payout and the price are drawing on the same pot. MSFW's price fell 32% over the past year. Whether a holder is ahead depends on whether $10.565 per share in distributions outweighed that decline, which is arithmetic the house money calculator performs rather than a question a yield figure answers.
What to Watch From Here
Whether the weekly check holds its size as the fund's asset base changes. How the record looks once there are two full years to compare. And how it stacks against MSFO, the option-premium fund on the same stock — the comparison tool puts both records on one chart.
