NFLU in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: NFLU returned −17.7% where its own daily promise gave −14.9%, 2.9 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times NFLX's −6.2% implies −12.4%, which makes NFLU look 5.3 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. NFLU aims to return +2 times NFLX'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. NFLX moved at 36% 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.
NFX in plain words
One month to Sep 30, 2026: NFX returned −27.6% where its own daily promise gave −27.2%, 0.5 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times NFLX's −14.2% implies −28.3%, which makes NFX look 0.7 points over. 1.1 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. NFX aims to return +2 times NFLX's move each day, then resets. NFLX moved at 35% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, NFLU or NFX?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, NFLU finished 5.3 points from what its multiple implies and NFX finished 0.7 points from its own, so NFX came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are NFLU and NFX levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Netflix, NFLU at +2 times and NFX at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, NFLU or NFX?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window NFLU’s moved at 36% annualized and NFX’s at 35%, so NFLU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold NFLU or NFX 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.
