AMAA in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: AMAA returned +0.1% where its own daily promise gave +2.5%, 2.4 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times AMZN's 3.1% implies +6.2%, which makes AMAA look 6.1 points short. 3.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. AMAA aims to return +2 times AMZN'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. AMZN moved at 41% 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.

AMZO in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: AMZO returned −16.4% where its own daily promise gave −17.8%, 1.4 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times AMZN's 3.1% implies −6.2%, which makes AMZO look 10.2 points short. 11.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. AMZO aims to return -2 times AMZN's move each day, then resets. 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.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, AMAA or AMZO?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, AMAA finished 6.1 points from what its multiple implies and AMZO finished 10.2 points from its own, so AMAA came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are AMAA and AMZO levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on Amazon.com, AMAA at +2 times and AMZO at -2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, AMAA or AMZO?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window AMAA’s moved at 41% annualized and AMZO’s at 41%, so AMAA has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold AMAA or AMZO 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, AMAA or AMZO?
AMAA charges 0.45% a year and AMZO charges 1.49%, so AMAA is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
