EDZ in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: EDZ returned −9.8% where its own daily promise gave −11.9%, 2.1 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −3 times EEM's 0.4% implies −1.3%, which makes EDZ look 8.5 points short. 10.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −3 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. EDZ aims to return -3 times EEM's move each day, then resets. Over one day it does that. Over longer, the daily results compound, so the total is not -3 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. EEM moved at 28% 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.

EEV in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: EEV returned −4.5% where its own daily promise gave −6.4%, 1.9 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times EEM's 0.4% implies −0.9%, which makes EEV look 3.6 points short. 5.5 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. EEV aims to return -2 times EEM'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, EDZ or EEV?
Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, EDZ finished 8.5 points from what its multiple implies and EEV finished 3.6 points from its own, so EEV came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are EDZ and EEV levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on emerging markets, EDZ at -3 times and EEV at -2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, EDZ or EEV?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window EDZ’s moved at 28% annualized and EEV’s at 28%, so EDZ has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold EDZ or EEV 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, EDZ or EEV?
EDZ charges 1.05% a year and EEV charges 0.95%, so EEV is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
