TSMG in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: TSMG returned −3.2% where its own daily promise gave −0.5%, 2.6 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times TSM's 2.2% implies +4.4%, which makes TSMG look 7.6 points short. 4.9 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. TSMG aims to return +2 times TSM'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. TSM moved at 45% 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.

TSMX in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: TSMX returned −3.2% where its own daily promise gave −0.5%, 2.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times TSM's 2.2% implies +4.4%, which makes TSMX look 7.6 points short. TSMX aims to return +2 times TSM's move each day, then resets.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, TSMG or TSMX?
Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, TSMG finished 7.6 points from what its multiple implies and TSMX finished 7.6 points from its own, so TSMG came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are TSMG and TSMX levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on TSM, TSMG at +2 times and TSMX at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, TSMG or TSMX?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window TSMG’s moved at 45% annualized and TSMX’s at 45%, so TSMG has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold TSMG or TSMX 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, TSMG or TSMX?
TSMG charges 0.76% a year and TSMX charges 0.99%, so TSMG is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
