PLTA in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: PLTA returned +45.7% where its own daily promise gave +50.5%, 4.8 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times PLTR's 30.7% implies +61.3%, which makes PLTA look 15.6 points short. 10.8 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. PLTA aims to return +2 times PLTR'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. PLTR moved at 81% 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.
PLTG in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: PLTG returned +45.1% where its own daily promise gave +50.5%, 5.4 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times PLTR's 30.7% implies +61.3%, which makes PLTG look 16.2 points short. PLTG aims to return +2 times PLTR's move each day, then resets.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, PLTA or PLTG?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, PLTA finished 15.6 points from what its multiple implies and PLTG finished 16.2 points from its own, so PLTA came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are PLTA and PLTG levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Palantir Technologies, PLTA at +2 times and PLTG at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, PLTA or PLTG?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window PLTA’s moved at 81% annualized and PLTG’s at 81%, so PLTA has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold PLTA or PLTG 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, PLTA or PLTG?
- PLTA charges 0.95% a year and PLTG charges 0.78%, so PLTG is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
