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.
MSFU in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: MSFU returned +51.4% where its own daily promise gave +55.1%, 3.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times MSFT's 27.1% implies +54.2%, which makes MSFU look 2.8 points short. 1.0 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. MSFU aims to return +2 times MSFT's move each day, then resets. MSFT moved at 43% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, MSFC or MSFU?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, MSFC finished 1.1 points from what its multiple implies and MSFU finished 2.8 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 MSFU levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Microsoft, MSFC at +2 times and MSFU at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, MSFC or MSFU?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window MSFC’s moved at 21% annualized and MSFU’s at 43%, so MSFU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold MSFC or MSFU 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, MSFC or MSFU?
- MSFC charges 0.45% a year and MSFU charges 0.98%, so MSFC is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
