Total returns
100% reinvested · ex-date convention. Period returns use this fixed assumption, independent of chart settings. YTD and 1Y are cumulative period returns; 3Y, 5Y, and 10Y are annualized. The shared Since-start window is annualized only when it covers at least one year.
AMDW has outpaced CHPY over the trailing twelve months, posting a 349.12% total return against 91.04%. Measured from Jul 2025 — the start of shared available history — AMDW has compounded at 250.62% a year versus 87.33% for CHPY. CHPY has been the steadier holding, though — annualized volatility of 40.2% against 85.8% for AMDW. Figures are total returns: price change plus every distribution reinvested.
Total return and risk statistics by fund. Each row is one fund; each column is one period or statistic.
Total return with all distributions reinvested on the ex-dividend date (a modeling convention, not the cash-settlement date), split-adjusted, as of September 30, 2026. YTD and 1Y are cumulative period returns; 3Y, 5Y, and 10Y are annualized. The shared Since-start window is annualized only when it covers at least one year. “Since Jul 2025” measures every fund from July 24, 2025 — the start of shared available history — so all funds share one comparison window. Volatility is the annualized standard deviation of daily total returns over the past year. Sharpe and Sortino divide the annualized return in excess of the risk-free rate by, respectively, that volatility and the downside deviation (both over the past year) — higher is better. Max drawdown is the largest peak-to-trough total-return decline over the same window — shallower is better.

AMDW targets weekly payouts and 120% of the weekly total return of Advanced Micro Devices before fees.
Seeks weekly income by holding a portfolio of U.S.-listed semiconductor equities and generating premium through an options overlay written on those holdings and on semiconductor ETFs.
Bottom lineChoose AMDW if you want amplified weekly AMD exposure and accept single-company risk. Choose CHPY if you want a semiconductor options-income portfolio and accept sector concentration. CHPY holds multiple semiconductor companies, whereas AMDW concentrates on AMD with leveraged weekly exposure. That changes company-specific risk but does not remove sector risk. The options overlay also changes CHPY's return path. Check current holdings overlap and compare both funds over shared dates.

How the risk works
Read this before the income numbers below: the strategy mechanics on this page shape what those payouts can cost you.
Daily leverage reset. AMDW targets a multiple of the index's DAILY move, resetting every session. Over weeks and months the compounding of daily resets (volatility decay) can drag returns far below the stated multiple, especially in choppy markets — and losses are magnified the same way gains are.
Capped upside and premium dependence. CHPY generates income by selling options, which trades away part of a strong rally in exchange for premium. Distributions can include return of capital, and a payout the underlying assets cannot sustain shows up as NAV erosion over time — the big yield number is not free.
