INT in plain words
One month to Sep 11, 2026: INT returned +0.5% where its own daily promise gave +1.3%, 0.8 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times INTC's 2.0% implies +3.9%, which makes INT look 3.5 points short. 2.7 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. INT aims to return +2 times INTC'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. INTC moved at 57% 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.
LINT in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: LINT returned −42.5% where its own daily promise gave −40.8%, 1.8 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times INTC's −17.4% implies −34.7%, which makes LINT look 7.8 points short. 6.0 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. LINT aims to return +2 times INTC's move each day, then resets. INTC moved at 76% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, INT or LINT?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, INT finished 3.5 points from what its multiple implies and LINT finished 7.8 points from its own, so INT came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are INT and LINT levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on INTC, INT at +2 times and LINT at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, INT or LINT?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window INT’s moved at 57% annualized and LINT’s at 76%, so LINT has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold INT or LINT 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, INT or LINT?
- INT charges 0.45% a year and LINT charges 0.97%, so INT is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
