ETHD in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: ETHD returned −69.5% where its own daily promise gave −69.8%, 0.3 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times ETHA's 65.0% implies −130.1%, which makes ETHD look 60.5 points over. 60.3 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. ETHD aims to return -2 times ETHA'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. ETHA moved at 48% 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.

ETHT in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: ETHT returned +145.7% where its own daily promise gave +157.5%, 11.8 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times ETHA's 65.0% implies +130.1%, which makes ETHT look 15.6 points over. 27.4 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. ETHT aims to return +2 times ETHA'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, ETHD or ETHT?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, ETHD finished 60.5 points from what its multiple implies and ETHT finished 15.6 points from its own, so ETHT came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are ETHD and ETHT levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on ether, ETHD at -2 times and ETHT at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, ETHD or ETHT?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window ETHD’s moved at 48% annualized and ETHT’s at 48%, so ETHD has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold ETHD or ETHT 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, ETHD or ETHT?
ETHD charges 0.95% a year and ETHT charges 0.96%, so ETHD is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
