MVV in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: MVV returned −5.4% where its own daily promise gave −4.2%, 1.2 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times MDY's −1.9% implies −3.9%, which makes MVV look 1.5 points short. 0.3 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. MVV aims to return +2 times MDY'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. MDY moved at 12% 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.
MYY in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: MYY returned +3.1% where its own daily promise gave +1.6%, 1.5 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −1 times MDY's −1.9% implies +1.9%, which makes MYY look 1.2 points over. 0.3 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −1 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. MYY aims to return -1 times MDY'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.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, MVV or MYY?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, MVV finished 1.5 points from what its multiple implies and MYY finished 1.2 points from its own, so MYY came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are MVV and MYY levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on the S&P MidCap 400, MVV at +2 times and MYY at -1 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, MVV or MYY?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window MVV’s moved at 12% annualized and MYY’s at 12%, so MVV has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold MVV or MYY 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.
