FBL in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: FBL returned +29.1% where its own daily promise gave +32.2%, 3.1 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times META's 18.4% implies +36.8%, which makes FBL look 7.7 points short. 4.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. FBL aims to return +2 times META'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. META moved at 49% 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.

FBX in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: FBX returned +28.7% where its own daily promise gave +32.2%, 3.5 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times META's 18.4% implies +36.8%, which makes FBX look 8.1 points short. FBX aims to return +2 times META's move each day, then resets.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, FBL or FBX?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, FBL finished 7.7 points from what its multiple implies and FBX finished 8.1 points from its own, so FBL came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are FBL and FBX levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on Meta Platforms, FBL at +2 times and FBX at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, FBL or FBX?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window FBL’s moved at 49% annualized and FBX’s at 49%, so FBL has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold FBL or FBX 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, FBL or FBX?
FBL charges 1.09% a year and FBX charges 0.45%, so FBX is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
