INT in plain words
One month to Sep 30, 2026: INT returned +70.2% where its own daily promise gave +72.7%, 2.5 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times INTC's 34.3% implies +68.6%, which makes INT look 1.6 points over. 4.1 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. INT aims to return +2 times INTC'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. INTC moved at 72% 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.
INTW in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: INTW returned −24.8% where its own daily promise gave −21.4%, 3.5 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times INTC's −5.3% implies −10.7%, which makes INTW look 14.1 points short. 10.7 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. INTW aims to return +2 times INTC's move each day, then resets. INTC moved at 73% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, INT or INTW?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, INT finished 1.6 points from what its multiple implies and INTW finished 14.1 points from its own, so INT came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are INT and INTW levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Intel, INT at +2 times and INTW at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, INT or INTW?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window INT’s moved at 72% annualized and INTW’s at 73%, so INTW has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold INT or INTW 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.
