ETHT among the 470 leveraged ETFs, long, over three months
SETH among the 125 inverse ETFs over three months
A percentile among the 470 leveraged ETFs, long, over three months. SETH is a percentile among the 125 inverse ETFs over three months, a different set, so the two marks are not on one scale. It is a position in a set, not a rating, and neither end of it is a recommendation. All leveraged ETFs ranked by it → How it is computed →

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 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.
SETH in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: SETH returned −42.0% where its own daily promise gave −43.1%, 1.0 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −1 times ETHA's 65.0% implies −65.0%, which makes SETH look 23.0 points over. 22.0 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −1 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. SETH aims to return -1 times ETHA's move each day, then resets. 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.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, ETHT or SETH?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, ETHT finished 15.6 points from what its multiple implies and SETH finished 23.0 points from its own, so ETHT came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are ETHT and SETH levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on ether, ETHT at +2 times and SETH at -1 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, ETHT or SETH?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window ETHT’s moved at 48% annualized and SETH’s at 48%, so ETHT has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold ETHT or SETH 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.
