ALA in plain words
One month to Sep 11, 2026: ALA returned −22.4% where its own daily promise gave −19.6%, 2.8 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times ALAB's −8.7% implies −17.3%, which makes ALA look 5.1 points short. 2.3 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. ALA aims to return +2 times ALAB's move each day, then resets. Over one day it does that. Over longer, the daily results compound, so the total is not +2 times the period's move: in a market that falls and comes back it is reliably less, and in a steady run it can be more. ALAB moved at 66% annualized over that window. That is what decides how far the two figures separate: the same fund on a calm underlying and a violent one is a different product.
LABX in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: LABX returned −53.2% where its own daily promise gave −51.8%, 1.4 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times ALAB's −20.7% implies −41.4%, which makes LABX look 11.9 points short. 10.5 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. LABX aims to return +2 times ALAB's move each day, then resets. ALAB moved at 104% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, ALA or LABX?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, ALA finished 5.1 points from what its multiple implies and LABX finished 11.9 points from its own, so ALA came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are ALA and LABX levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on ALAB, ALA at +2 times and LABX at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, ALA or LABX?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window ALA’s moved at 66% annualized and LABX’s at 104%, so LABX has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold ALA or LABX for a year?
- Both reset every day, so the multiple in the name applies to a single day and the daily results compound. Over a year the total is not the multiple times the year’s move, and in a market that falls and comes back it is reliably less. ETFIQ makes no recommendation either way.
