TSLL in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: TSLL returned −27.9% where its own daily promise gave −25.7%, 2.2 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times TSLA's −10.1% implies −20.2%, which makes TSLL look 7.7 points short. 5.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. TSLL 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 56% 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.
TSLS in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: TSLS returned +5.0% where its own daily promise gave +2.9%, 2.1 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −1 times TSLA's −10.1% implies +10.1%, which makes TSLS look 5.1 points short. 7.2 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −1 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. TSLS aims to return -1 times TSLA's move each day, then resets. Over longer, the daily results compound, so the total is not -1 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, TSLL or TSLS?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, TSLL finished 7.7 points from what its multiple implies and TSLS finished 5.1 points from its own, so TSLS came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are TSLL and TSLS levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Tesla, TSLL at +2 times and TSLS at -1 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, TSLL or TSLS?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window TSLL’s moved at 56% annualized and TSLS’s at 56%, so TSLL has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold TSLL or TSLS 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.
