AVGX in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: AVGX returned −16.7% where its own daily promise gave −13.9%, 2.8 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times AVGO's −5.1% implies −10.2%, which makes AVGX look 6.5 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. AVGX aims to return +2 times AVGO'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. AVGO moved at 43% 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.
AVL in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: AVL returned −16.1% where its own daily promise gave −13.9%, 2.2 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times AVGO's −5.1% implies −10.2%, which makes AVL look 5.9 points short. AVL aims to return +2 times AVGO's move each day, then resets.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, AVGX or AVL?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, AVGX finished 6.5 points from what its multiple implies and AVL finished 5.9 points from its own, so AVL came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are AVGX and AVL levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Broadcom, AVGX at +2 times and AVL at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, AVGX or AVL?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window AVGX’s moved at 43% annualized and AVL’s at 43%, so AVGX has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold AVGX or AVL 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, AVGX or AVL?
- AVGX charges 1.31% a year and AVL charges 1.00%, so AVL is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
