FNGG in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: FNGG returned +17.9% where its own daily promise gave +19.7%, 1.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times FNGS's 10.1% implies +20.3%, which makes FNGG look 2.3 points short. 0.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. FNGG aims to return +2 times FNGS'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. FNGS moved at 24% 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.
FNGU in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: FNGU returned +22.4% where its own daily promise gave +28.3%, 5.9 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +3 times FNGS's 10.1% implies +30.4%, which makes FNGU look 8.0 points short. 2.1 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +3 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. FNGU aims to return +3 times FNGS's move each day, then resets. 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.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, FNGG or FNGU?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, FNGG finished 2.3 points from what its multiple implies and FNGU finished 8.0 points from its own, so FNGG came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are FNGG and FNGU levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on the big technology names, FNGG at +2 times and FNGU at +3 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, FNGG or FNGU?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window FNGG’s moved at 24% annualized and FNGU’s at 24%, so FNGG has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold FNGG or FNGU 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.
