METG in plain words

One month to Sep 30, 2026: METG returned +54.9% where its own daily promise gave +56.8%, 1.9 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times META's 26.8% implies +53.6%, which makes METG look 1.3 points over. 3.2 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. METG 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 55% 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.

METQ in plain words

One month to Sep 30, 2026: METQ returned −42.8% where its own daily promise gave −43.0%, 0.2 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times META's 26.8% implies −53.6%, which makes METQ look 10.8 points over. 10.5 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. METQ aims to return -2 times META'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, METG or METQ?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, METG finished 1.3 points from what its multiple implies and METQ finished 10.8 points from its own, so METG came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are METG and METQ levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on Meta Platforms, METG at +2 times and METQ at -2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, METG or METQ?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window METG’s moved at 55% annualized and METQ’s at 55%, so METG has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold METG or METQ 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, METG or METQ?
METG charges 0.75% a year and METQ charges 1.49%, so METG is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
