AMAU in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: AMAU returned −46.5% where its own daily promise gave −44.3%, 2.3 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times AMAT's −21.4% implies −42.7%, which makes AMAU look 3.8 points short. 1.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. AMAU aims to return +2 times AMAT'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. AMAT moved at 65% 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.
APMI in plain words
One month to Sep 30, 2026: APMI returned +21.5% where its own daily promise gave +21.9%, 0.4 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times AMAT's 11.6% implies +23.1%, which makes APMI look 1.6 points short. 1.2 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. APMI aims to return +2 times AMAT's move each day, then resets. AMAT moved at 49% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, AMAU or APMI?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, AMAU finished 3.8 points from what its multiple implies and APMI finished 1.6 points from its own, so APMI came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are AMAU and APMI levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Applied Materials, AMAU at +2 times and APMI at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, AMAU or APMI?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window AMAU’s moved at 65% annualized and APMI’s at 49%, so AMAU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold AMAU or APMI 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.
