Which came closer to its stated multiple, INTW or LINT?

Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, INTW finished 14.1 points from what its multiple implies and LINT finished 13.0 points from its own, so LINT came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.

Are INTW and LINT levered on the same thing?

Yes. Both are levered on Intel, INTW at +2 times and LINT at +2 times the daily move.

Which one decays faster, INTW or LINT?

Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window INTW’s moved at 73% annualized and LINT’s at 73%, so INTW has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.

Can I hold INTW or LINT 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, INTW or LINT?

INTW charges 1.50% a year and LINT charges 0.97%, so LINT is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.

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. 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 73% 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.

LINT in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: LINT returned −23.7% where its own daily promise gave −21.4%, 2.4 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times INTC's −5.3% implies −10.7%, which makes LINT look 13.0 points short. LINT aims to return +2 times INTC's move each day, then resets.
