LOFD in plain words

One month to Sep 30, 2026: LOFD returned −12.7% where its own daily promise gave −13.6%, 1.0 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times SPCX's 5.0% implies −10.0%, which makes LOFD look 2.7 points short. 3.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. LOFD aims to return -2 times SPCX'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. SPCX moved at 44% 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.

SNK in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: SNK returned −25.7% where its own daily promise gave −25.1%, 0.5 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times SPCX's −4.2% implies +8.5%, which makes SNK look 34.2 points short. 33.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. SNK aims to return -2 times SPCX's move each day, then resets. SPCX moved at 70% annualized over that window.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, LOFD or SNK?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, LOFD finished 2.7 points from what its multiple implies and SNK finished 34.2 points from its own, so LOFD came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are LOFD and SNK levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on Space Exploration Technologies, LOFD at -2 times and SNK at -2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, LOFD or SNK?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window LOFD’s moved at 44% annualized and SNK’s at 70%, so SNK has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold LOFD or SNK 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, LOFD or SNK?
LOFD charges 0.97% a year and SNK charges 2.20%, so LOFD is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
