GGLS in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: GGLS returned +3.2% where its own daily promise gave +2.0%, 1.2 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −1 times GOOGL's −4.7% implies +4.7%, which makes GGLS look 1.5 points short. 2.7 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −1 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. GGLS aims to return -1 times GOOGL's move each day, then resets. Over one day it does that. 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. GOOGL moved at 34% 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.

GOOX in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: GOOX returned −14.1% where its own daily promise gave −11.7%, 2.4 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times GOOGL's −4.7% implies −9.4%, which makes GOOX look 4.7 points short. 2.4 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. GOOX aims to return +2 times GOOGL'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, GGLS or GOOX?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, GGLS finished 1.5 points from what its multiple implies and GOOX finished 4.7 points from its own, so GGLS came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are GGLS and GOOX levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on Alphabet, GGLS at -1 times and GOOX at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, GGLS or GOOX?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window GGLS’s moved at 34% annualized and GOOX’s at 34%, so GGLS has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold GGLS or GOOX 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, GGLS or GOOX?
GGLS charges 1.02% a year and GOOX charges 1.05%, so GGLS is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
