Which came closer to its stated multiple, AMA or APMI?

Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, AMA finished 7.5 points from what its multiple implies and APMI finished 0.8 points from its own, so APMI came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.

Are AMA and APMI levered on the same thing?

Yes. Both are levered on AMAT, AMA at +2 times and APMI at +2 times the daily move.

Which one decays faster, AMA or APMI?

Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window AMA’s moved at 78% annualized and APMI’s at 44%, so AMA has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.

Can I hold AMA or APMI 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.

Which is cheaper, AMA or APMI?

AMA charges 1.31% a year and APMI charges 0.45%, so APMI is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.

AMA in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: AMA returned −46.4% where its own daily promise gave −43.9%, 2.4 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times AMAT's −19.4% implies −38.9%, which makes AMA look 7.5 points short. 5.1 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. AMA aims to return +2 times AMAT'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. AMAT moved at 78% 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.

APMI in plain words

One month to Sep 11, 2026: APMI returned −32.4% where its own daily promise gave −31.7%, 0.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times AMAT's −16.6% implies −33.3%, which makes APMI look 0.8 points over. 1.5 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. APMI aims to return +2 times AMAT's move each day, then resets. AMAT moved at 44% annualized over that window.
