SNDQ in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: SNDQ returned −64.8% where its own daily promise gave −64.9%, 0.1 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times SNDK's −17.5% implies +35.0%, which makes SNDQ look 99.8 points short. 99.9 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. SNDQ aims to return -2 times SNDK'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. SNDK moved at 134% 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.
SNDU in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: SNDU returned −58.9% where its own daily promise gave −55.7%, 3.2 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times SNDK's −17.5% implies −35.0%, which makes SNDU look 23.9 points short. 20.7 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. SNDU aims to return +2 times SNDK'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, SNDQ or SNDU?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, SNDQ finished 99.8 points from what its multiple implies and SNDU finished 23.9 points from its own, so SNDU came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are SNDQ and SNDU levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on SNDK, SNDQ at -2 times and SNDU at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, SNDQ or SNDU?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window SNDQ’s moved at 134% annualized and SNDU’s at 134%, so SNDQ has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold SNDQ or SNDU 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, SNDQ or SNDU?
- SNDQ charges 1.49% a year and SNDU charges 1.50%, so SNDQ is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
