ASTG in plain words
One month to Sep 11, 2026: ASTG returned −39.7% where its own daily promise gave −38.1%, 1.6 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times ASTS's −19.4% implies −38.9%, which makes ASTG look 0.8 points short. 0.8 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. ASTG aims to return +2 times ASTS'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. ASTS moved at 74% 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.
ASTX in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: ASTX returned −60.4% where its own daily promise gave −58.4%, 2.1 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times ASTS's −27.4% implies −54.7%, which makes ASTX look 5.7 points short. 3.7 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. ASTX aims to return +2 times ASTS's move each day, then resets. ASTS moved at 98% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, ASTG or ASTX?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, ASTG finished 0.8 points from what its multiple implies and ASTX finished 5.7 points from its own, so ASTG came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are ASTG and ASTX levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on ASTS, ASTG at +2 times and ASTX at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, ASTG or ASTX?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window ASTG’s moved at 74% annualized and ASTX’s at 98%, so ASTX has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold ASTG or ASTX 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, ASTG or ASTX?
- ASTG charges 0.99% a year and ASTX charges 1.30%, so ASTG is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
