GLDW dividend and distribution FAQ
What is GLDW and how does it work?
GLDW is the Roundhill Gold WeeklyPay ETF. It seeks weekly distributions and calendar-week returns, before fees and expenses, equal to 1.2 times the weekly total return of SPDR Gold Trust. It is actively managed and uses total return swaps to obtain its targeted exposure.
Does GLDW guarantee weekly distributions?
No. Roundhill says GLDW currently expects, but does not guarantee, weekly distributions. Amounts can change, distributions may be skipped, and payments may exceed the fund's income and gains and therefore include return of capital.
Does GLDW use covered calls?
No. Roundhill states that its WeeklyPay ETFs do not sell options. GLDW primarily uses total return swaps and cash or collateral positions to pursue its weekly leveraged exposure.
What does GLDW hold?
GLDW's current holdings may include total return swaps referencing GLD, cash, collateral, and related instruments. Holdings and weights change, so use Roundhill's official holdings table for the latest portfolio rather than relying on a static list.
What is GLDW's expense ratio and launch date?
Roundhill lists a 0.99% gross expense ratio and an October 30, 2025 launch date for GLDW. CUSIP: 77926X494. Investors should confirm current figures in the latest prospectus.
What are the main risks of GLDW?
GLDW uses weekly leverage, so losses can be amplified as well as gains. Weekly resets can make longer-period results differ from 1.2 times the reference asset's cumulative return. Other risks include swap counterparty risk, reference-asset risk, distribution variability, return of capital, fees, and possible NAV decline.
How should I use the GLDW dividend calculator?
