Not a covered-call fund. MSFW targets 120% of Microsoft's weekly move and pays out every week. Every distribution since launch, and what the leverage did to the share price.

MSFW Distribution — Quick Facts
  • 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.

Every Distribution Payment, Over Time

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.

Leverage Is Not Premium

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.
