NVD in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: NVD returned −20.5% where its own daily promise gave −21.9%, 1.4 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times NVDA's 6.5% implies −13.0%, which makes NVD look 7.5 points short. 8.9 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. NVD aims to return -2 times NVDA'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. NVDA moved at 40% 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.
NVDL in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: NVDL returned +6.2% where its own daily promise gave +9.1%, 2.9 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times NVDA's 6.5% implies +13.0%, which makes NVDL look 6.8 points short. 3.9 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. NVDL aims to return +2 times NVDA'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, NVD or NVDL?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, NVD finished 7.5 points from what its multiple implies and NVDL finished 6.8 points from its own, so NVDL came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are NVD and NVDL levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on NVIDIA, NVD at -2 times and NVDL at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, NVD or NVDL?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window NVD’s moved at 40% annualized and NVDL’s at 40%, so NVD has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold NVD or NVDL 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, NVD or NVDL?
- NVD charges 1.35% a year and NVDL charges 1.05%, so NVDL is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
