BIDG in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: BIDG returned −42.8% where its own daily promise gave −41.1%, 1.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times BIDU's −21.1% implies −42.1%, which makes BIDG look 0.7 points short. 1.0 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. BIDG aims to return +2 times BIDU'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. BIDU moved at 45% 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.

KBDU in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: KBDU returned −42.8% where its own daily promise gave −41.1%, 1.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times BIDU's −21.1% implies −42.1%, which makes KBDU look 0.7 points short. KBDU aims to return +2 times BIDU's move each day, then resets.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, BIDG or KBDU?
Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, BIDG finished 0.7 points from what its multiple implies and KBDU finished 0.7 points from its own, so BIDG came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are BIDG and KBDU levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on BIDU, BIDG at +2 times and KBDU at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, BIDG or KBDU?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window BIDG’s moved at 45% annualized and KBDU’s at 45%, so BIDG has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold BIDG or KBDU 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, BIDG or KBDU?
BIDG charges 0.75% a year and KBDU charges 1.25%, so BIDG is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
