FBL in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: FBL returned +21.0% where its own daily promise gave +24.0%, 3.0 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times META's 14.4% implies +28.8%, which makes FBL look 7.8 points short. 4.8 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. FBL aims to return +2 times META'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. META moved at 47% 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.
METD in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: METD returned −16.1% where its own daily promise gave −17.2%, 1.2 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −1 times META's 14.4% implies −14.4%, which makes METD look 1.6 points short. 2.8 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −1 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. METD aims to return -1 times META's move each day, then resets. Over longer, the daily results compound, so the total is not -1 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, FBL or METD?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, FBL finished 7.8 points from what its multiple implies and METD finished 1.6 points from its own, so METD came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are FBL and METD levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Meta Platforms, FBL at +2 times and METD at -1 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, FBL or METD?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window FBL’s moved at 47% annualized and METD’s at 47%, so FBL has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold FBL or METD 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.
