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.
TSMZ in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: TSMZ returned −5.6% where its own daily promise gave −6.8%, 1.2 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −1 times TSM's 2.2% implies −2.2%, which makes TSMZ look 3.4 points short. 4.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −1 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. TSMZ aims to return -1 times TSM'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, TSMG or TSMZ?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, TSMG finished 7.6 points from what its multiple implies and TSMZ finished 3.4 points from its own, so TSMZ came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are TSMG and TSMZ levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on TSM, TSMG at +2 times and TSMZ at -1 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, TSMG or TSMZ?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window TSMG’s moved at 45% annualized and TSMZ’s at 45%, so TSMG has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold TSMG or TSMZ 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.
