FXP in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: FXP returned +2.8% where its own daily promise gave +0.6%, 2.2 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times FXI's −1.5% implies +3.1%, which makes FXP look 0.3 points short. 2.5 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. FXP aims to return -2 times FXI'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. FXI moved at 18% 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.
YANG in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: YANG returned +3.3% where its own daily promise gave −0.4%, 3.6 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −3 times FXI's −1.5% implies +4.6%, which makes YANG look 1.3 points short. 5.0 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −3 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. YANG aims to return -3 times FXI'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, FXP or YANG?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, FXP finished 0.3 points from what its multiple implies and YANG finished 1.3 points from its own, so FXP came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are FXP and YANG levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on ISHARES CHINA LARGE-CAP ETF, FXP at -2 times and YANG at -3 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, FXP or YANG?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window FXP’s moved at 18% annualized and YANG’s at 18%, so FXP has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold FXP or YANG 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, FXP or YANG?
- FXP charges 0.95% a year and YANG charges 1.03%, so FXP is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
