NFX in plain words
One month to Sep 11, 2026: NFX returned +6.7% where its own daily promise gave +7.6%, 0.8 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times NFLX's 4.3% implies +8.6%, which makes NFX look 1.9 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. NFX aims to return +2 times NFLX'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. NFLX moved at 37% 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.
NFXS in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: NFXS returned +1.8% where its own daily promise gave +0.2%, 1.5 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −1 times NFLX's −3.7% implies +3.7%, which makes NFXS look 1.9 points short. 3.4 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −1 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. NFXS aims to return -1 times NFLX'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. NFLX moved at 38% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, NFX or NFXS?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, NFX finished 1.9 points from what its multiple implies and NFXS finished 1.9 points from its own, so NFX came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are NFX and NFXS levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Netflix, NFX at +2 times and NFXS at -1 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, NFX or NFXS?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window NFX’s moved at 37% annualized and NFXS’s at 38%, so NFXS has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold NFX or NFXS 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.
