AMZU in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: AMZU returned +8.3% where its own daily promise gave +11.2%, 2.8 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times AMZN's 7.6% implies +15.3%, which makes AMZU look 7.0 points short. 4.1 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. AMZU aims to return +2 times AMZN'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. AMZN moved at 44% 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.
AMZZ in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: AMZZ returned +9.4% where its own daily promise gave +11.2%, 1.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times AMZN's 7.6% implies +15.3%, which makes AMZZ look 5.9 points short. AMZZ aims to return +2 times AMZN's move each day, then resets.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, AMZU or AMZZ?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, AMZU finished 7.0 points from what its multiple implies and AMZZ finished 5.9 points from its own, so AMZZ came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are AMZU and AMZZ levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Amazon.com, AMZU at +2 times and AMZZ at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, AMZU or AMZZ?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window AMZU’s moved at 44% annualized and AMZZ’s at 44%, so AMZU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold AMZU or AMZZ 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, AMZU or AMZZ?
- AMZU charges 0.99% a year and AMZZ charges 1.15%, so AMZU is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
