TMV in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: TMV returned +18.0% where its own daily promise gave +13.7%, 4.3 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −3 times TLT's −4.6% implies +13.9%, which makes TMV look 4.1 points over. 0.2 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −3 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. TMV aims to return -3 times TLT's move each day, then resets. Over one day it does that. Over longer, the daily results compound, so the total is not -3 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. TLT moved at 9% 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.
TTT in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: TTT returned +16.9% where its own daily promise gave +13.7%, 3.2 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −3 times TLT's −4.6% implies +13.9%, which makes TTT look 3.1 points over. TTT aims to return -3 times TLT's move each day, then resets.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, TMV or TTT?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, TMV finished 4.1 points from what its multiple implies and TTT finished 3.1 points from its own, so TTT came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are TMV and TTT levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on 20-year Treasuries, TMV at -3 times and TTT at -3 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, TMV or TTT?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window TMV’s moved at 9% annualized and TTT’s at 9%, so TMV has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold TMV or TTT 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, TMV or TTT?
- TMV charges 0.97% a year and TTT charges 0.95%, so TTT is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
