ONDG in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: ONDG returned −30.7% where its own daily promise gave −26.6%, 4.1 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times ONDS's −7.5% implies −14.9%, which makes ONDG look 15.8 points short. 11.7 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. ONDG aims to return +2 times ONDS'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. ONDS moved at 78% 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.
ONDL in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: ONDL returned −35.1% where its own daily promise gave −26.6%, 8.4 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times ONDS's −7.5% implies −14.9%, which makes ONDL look 20.2 points short. ONDL aims to return +2 times ONDS's move each day, then resets.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, ONDG or ONDL?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, ONDG finished 15.8 points from what its multiple implies and ONDL finished 20.2 points from its own, so ONDG came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are ONDG and ONDL levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Ondas, ONDG at +2 times and ONDL at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, ONDG or ONDL?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window ONDG’s moved at 78% annualized and ONDL’s at 78%, so ONDG has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold ONDG or ONDL 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.
