AXTL in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: AXTL returned −26.1% where its own daily promise gave −21.7%, 4.4 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times AXTI's 19.0% implies +38.1%, which makes AXTL look 64.2 points short. 59.8 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. AXTL aims to return +2 times AXTI'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. AXTI moved at 158% 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.

AXTX in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: AXTX returned −26.1% where its own daily promise gave −21.7%, 4.3 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times AXTI's 19.0% implies +38.1%, which makes AXTX look 64.2 points short. AXTX aims to return +2 times AXTI's move each day, then resets.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, AXTL or AXTX?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, AXTL finished 64.2 points from what its multiple implies and AXTX finished 64.2 points from its own, so AXTX came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are AXTL and AXTX levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on AXT, AXTL at +2 times and AXTX at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, AXTL or AXTX?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window AXTL’s moved at 158% annualized and AXTX’s at 158%, so AXTL has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold AXTL or AXTX 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, AXTL or AXTX?
AXTL charges 0.99% a year and AXTX charges 1.49%, so AXTL is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
