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. 4.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. FBX 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.

METU in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: METU returned +29.3% where its own daily promise gave +32.2%, 3.0 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times META's 18.4% implies +36.8%, which makes METU look 7.5 points short. METU aims to return +2 times META's move each day, then resets.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, FBX or METU?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, FBX finished 8.1 points from what its multiple implies and METU finished 7.5 points from its own, so METU came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are FBX and METU levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on Meta Platforms, FBX at +2 times and METU at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, FBX or METU?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window FBX’s moved at 49% annualized and METU’s at 49%, so FBX has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold FBX or METU 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, FBX or METU?
FBX charges 0.45% a year and METU charges 1.02%, so FBX is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
