DRAL in plain words

One month to Sep 11, 2026: DRAL returned +10.1% where its own daily promise gave +12.9%, 2.9 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times DRAM's 7.8% implies +15.7%, which makes DRAL look 5.7 points short. 2.8 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. DRAL aims to return +2 times DRAM'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. DRAM moved at 58% 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.

RAMZ in plain words

One month to Sep 11, 2026: RAMZ returned −21.1% where its own daily promise gave −21.1%, 0.1 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times DRAM's 7.8% implies −15.7%, which makes RAMZ look 5.4 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. RAMZ aims to return -2 times DRAM'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.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, DRAL or RAMZ?
Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, DRAL finished 5.7 points from what its multiple implies and RAMZ finished 5.4 points from its own, so RAMZ came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are DRAL and RAMZ levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on DRAM, DRAL at +2 times and RAMZ at -2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, DRAL or RAMZ?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window DRAL’s moved at 58% annualized and RAMZ’s at 58%, so DRAL has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold DRAL or RAMZ 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, DRAL or RAMZ?
DRAL charges 1.31% a year and RAMZ charges 1.50%, so DRAL is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
