NBIL in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: NBIL returned −41.8% where its own daily promise gave −39.5%, 2.3 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times NBIS's −3.4% implies −6.7%, which makes NBIL look 35.0 points short. 32.8 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. NBIL aims to return +2 times NBIS'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. NBIS moved at 140% 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.

NBIZ in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: NBIZ returned −81.2% where its own daily promise gave −81.4%, 0.2 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times NBIS's −3.4% implies +6.7%, which makes NBIZ look 87.9 points short. 88.1 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. NBIZ aims to return -2 times NBIS'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, NBIL or NBIZ?
Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, NBIL finished 35.0 points from what its multiple implies and NBIZ finished 87.9 points from its own, so NBIL came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are NBIL and NBIZ levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on NBIS, NBIL at +2 times and NBIZ at -2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, NBIL or NBIZ?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window NBIL’s moved at 140% annualized and NBIZ’s at 140%, so NBIL has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold NBIL or NBIZ 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, NBIL or NBIZ?
NBIL charges 1.50% a year and NBIZ charges 1.49%, so NBIZ is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
