BABC in plain words
One month to Sep 11, 2026: BABC returned −25.4% where its own daily promise gave −25.0%, 0.5 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times BABA's −12.7% implies −25.4%, which makes BABC look 0.0 points short. 0.5 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. BABC aims to return +2 times BABA'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. BABA moved at 39% 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.
KBAB in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: KBAB returned −12.4% where its own daily promise gave −10.4%, 2.1 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times BABA's −3.1% implies −6.2%, which makes KBAB look 6.2 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. KBAB aims to return +2 times BABA's move each day, then resets. BABA moved at 44% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, BABC or KBAB?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, BABC finished 0.0 points from what its multiple implies and KBAB finished 6.2 points from its own, so BABC came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are BABC and KBAB levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on BABA, BABC at +2 times and KBAB at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, BABC or KBAB?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window BABC’s moved at 39% annualized and KBAB’s at 44%, so KBAB has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold BABC or KBAB 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, BABC or KBAB?
- BABC charges 0.45% a year and KBAB charges 0.99%, so BABC is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
