AAPE in plain words

One month to Sep 30, 2026: AAPE returned +9.2% where its own daily promise gave +10.0%, 0.8 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times AAPL's 5.1% implies +10.2%, which makes AAPE look 1.0 points short. 0.2 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. AAPE aims to return +2 times AAPL'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. AAPL moved at 23% 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.

IOSX in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: IOSX returned +22.7% where its own daily promise gave +25.6%, 2.9 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times AAPL's 13.2% implies +26.4%, which makes IOSX look 3.7 points short. 0.8 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. IOSX aims to return +2 times AAPL's move each day, then resets. AAPL moved at 28% annualized over that window.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, AAPE or IOSX?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, AAPE finished 1.0 points from what its multiple implies and IOSX finished 3.7 points from its own, so AAPE came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are AAPE and IOSX levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on Apple, AAPE at +2 times and IOSX at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, AAPE or IOSX?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window AAPE’s moved at 23% annualized and IOSX’s at 28%, so IOSX has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold AAPE or IOSX 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, AAPE or IOSX?
AAPE charges 0.75% a year and IOSX charges 0.45%, so IOSX is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
