NVDD in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: NVDD returned −15.1% where its own daily promise gave −16.7%, 1.6 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −1 times NVDA's 15.7% implies −15.7%, which makes NVDD look 0.6 points over. 1.0 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −1 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. NVDD aims to return -1 times NVDA's move each day, then resets. Over one day it does that. Over longer, the daily results compound, so the total is not -1 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. NVDA moved at 38% 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.

NVDX in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: NVDX returned +24.6% where its own daily promise gave +29.2%, 4.6 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times NVDA's 15.7% implies +31.4%, which makes NVDX look 6.8 points short. 2.2 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. NVDX aims to return +2 times NVDA'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, NVDD or NVDX?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, NVDD finished 0.6 points from what its multiple implies and NVDX finished 6.8 points from its own, so NVDD came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are NVDD and NVDX levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on NVIDIA, NVDD at -1 times and NVDX at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, NVDD or NVDX?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window NVDD’s moved at 38% annualized and NVDX’s at 38%, so NVDD has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold NVDD or NVDX 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, NVDD or NVDX?
NVDD charges 1.01% a year and NVDX charges 1.05%, so NVDD is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
