QBTX in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: QBTX returned −60.9% where its own daily promise gave −58.6%, 2.3 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times QBTS's −29.5% implies −59.0%, which makes QBTX look 2.0 points short. 0.4 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. QBTX aims to return +2 times QBTS'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. QBTS moved at 87% 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.
QUA in plain words
One month to Sep 30, 2026: QUA returned −9.9% where its own daily promise gave −9.3%, 0.6 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times QBTS's −3.7% implies −7.3%, which makes QUA look 2.6 points short. 2.0 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. QUA aims to return +2 times QBTS's move each day, then resets. QBTS moved at 54% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, QBTX or QUA?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, QBTX finished 2.0 points from what its multiple implies and QUA finished 2.6 points from its own, so QBTX came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are QBTX and QUA levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on D-Wave Quantum, QBTX at +2 times and QUA at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, QBTX or QUA?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window QBTX’s moved at 87% annualized and QUA’s at 54%, so QBTX has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold QBTX or QUA 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.
