MSFC in plain words
One month to Sep 11, 2026: MSFC returned +0.6% where its own daily promise gave +1.3%, 0.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times MSFT's 0.8% implies +1.7%, which makes MSFC look 1.1 points short. 0.4 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. MSFC aims to return +2 times MSFT'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. MSFT moved at 21% 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.
MSFD in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: MSFD returned −23.9% where its own daily promise gave −24.9%, 1.0 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −1 times MSFT's 27.1% implies −27.1%, which makes MSFD look 3.2 points over. 2.2 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −1 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. MSFD aims to return -1 times MSFT'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. MSFT moved at 43% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, MSFC or MSFD?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, MSFC finished 1.1 points from what its multiple implies and MSFD finished 3.2 points from its own, so MSFC came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are MSFC and MSFD levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Microsoft, MSFC at +2 times and MSFD at -1 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, MSFC or MSFD?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window MSFC’s moved at 21% annualized and MSFD’s at 43%, so MSFD has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold MSFC or MSFD 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.
