AXTL in plain words

One month to Sep 11, 2026: AXTL returned −41.5% where its own daily promise gave −40.3%, 1.2 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times AXTI's −17.5% implies −34.9%, which makes AXTL look 6.6 points short. 5.4 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. AXTL aims to return +2 times AXTI'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. AXTI moved at 123% 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.

AXTQ in plain words

Since launch to Sep 11, 2026: AXTQ returned +31.0% where its own daily promise gave +29.4%, 1.6 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times AXTI's −21.3% implies +42.6%, which makes AXTQ look 11.6 points short. 13.2 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. AXTQ aims to return -2 times AXTI's move each day, then resets. 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. AXTI moved at 102% annualized over that window.

Questions people ask

Are AXTL and AXTQ levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on AXTI, AXTL at +2 times and AXTQ at -2 times the daily move.
Can I hold AXTL or AXTQ 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, AXTL or AXTQ?
AXTL charges 0.99% a year and AXTQ charges 1.49%, so AXTL is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
