AMZD in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: AMZD returned −5.6% where its own daily promise gave −7.0%, 1.3 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −1 times AMZN's 3.1% implies −3.1%, which makes AMZD look 2.5 points short. 3.9 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −1 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. AMZD aims to return -1 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 -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. 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.

AMZG in plain words

One month to Sep 30, 2026: AMZG returned −10.0% where its own daily promise gave −8.4%, 1.6 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times AMZN's −4.1% implies −8.2%, which makes AMZG look 1.8 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. AMZG 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. AMZN moved at 21% annualized over that window.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, AMZD or AMZG?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, AMZD finished 2.5 points from what its multiple implies and AMZG finished 1.8 points from its own, so AMZG came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are AMZD and AMZG levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on Amazon.com, AMZD at -1 times and AMZG at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, AMZD or AMZG?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window AMZD’s moved at 41% annualized and AMZG’s at 21%, so AMZD has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold AMZD or AMZG 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, AMZD or AMZG?
AMZD charges 1.02% a year and AMZG charges 0.75%, so AMZG is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
