NVDG in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: NVDG returned +26.1% where its own daily promise gave +29.2%, 3.1 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times NVDA's 15.7% implies +31.4%, which makes NVDG look 5.4 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. NVDG aims to return +2 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 +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. 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.

NVDL in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: NVDL returned +26.0% where its own daily promise gave +29.2%, 3.2 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times NVDA's 15.7% implies +31.4%, which makes NVDL look 5.5 points short. NVDL aims to return +2 times NVDA's move each day, then resets.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, NVDG or NVDL?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, NVDG finished 5.4 points from what its multiple implies and NVDL finished 5.5 points from its own, so NVDG came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are NVDG and NVDL levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on NVIDIA, NVDG at +2 times and NVDL at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, NVDG or NVDL?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window NVDG’s moved at 38% annualized and NVDL’s at 38%, so NVDG has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold NVDG or NVDL 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, NVDG or NVDL?
NVDG charges 0.76% a year and NVDL charges 1.05%, so NVDG is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
