LITU in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: LITU returned −22.7% where its own daily promise gave −19.5%, 3.2 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times LITE's 0.6% implies +1.2%, which makes LITU look 23.9 points short. 20.7 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. LITU aims to return +2 times LITE'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. LITE moved at 97% 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.
LITZ in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: LITZ returned −51.4% where its own daily promise gave −51.9%, 0.5 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times LITE's 0.6% implies −1.2%, which makes LITZ look 50.2 points short. 50.7 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. LITZ aims to return -2 times LITE'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, LITU or LITZ?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, LITU finished 23.9 points from what its multiple implies and LITZ finished 50.2 points from its own, so LITU came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are LITU and LITZ levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on LITE, LITU at +2 times and LITZ at -2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, LITU or LITZ?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window LITU’s moved at 97% annualized and LITZ’s at 97%, so LITU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold LITU or LITZ 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, LITU or LITZ?
- LITU charges 1.50% a year and LITZ charges 1.49%, so LITZ is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
