TESC in plain words
One month to Sep 11, 2026: TESC returned +20.7% where its own daily promise gave +22.0%, 1.2 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times TSLA's 11.6% implies +23.2%, which makes TESC look 2.4 points short. 1.2 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. TESC aims to return +2 times TSLA'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. TSLA moved at 50% 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.
TSL in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: TSL returned −14.3% where its own daily promise gave −13.6%, 0.8 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +1.25 times TSLA's −10.1% implies −12.6%, which makes TSL look 1.7 points short. 1.0 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +1.25 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. TSL aims to return +1.25 times TSLA's move each day, then resets. Over longer, the daily results compound, so the total is not +1.25 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. TSLA moved at 56% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, TESC or TSL?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, TESC finished 2.4 points from what its multiple implies and TSL finished 1.7 points from its own, so TSL came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are TESC and TSL levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Tesla, TESC at +2 times and TSL at +1.25 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, TESC or TSL?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window TESC’s moved at 50% annualized and TSL’s at 56%, so TSL has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold TESC or TSL 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, TESC or TSL?
- TESC charges 0.45% a year and TSL charges 1.15%, so TESC is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
