About each fund
QID

Over the three months to Oct 27, 2026, QID lost 12.6%, against −14.8% for twice the inverse of QQQ's daily moves. Of that 1.2, daily compounding is −1.0 points, which any −2 times fund would show over the same path, and the fund itself is +2.2 points against −2 times each day's move, compounded.

Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times QQQ's 6.9% implies −13.8%, which makes QID look 1.2 points over. That is not the fund's objective, which is daily. QID aims to return -2 times QQQ's move each day, then resets. Over one day it does that. Over longer periods the daily results compound, so the total is not -2 times the period's move: it is lower after a fall and recovery, and can be higher in a steady run. QQQ moved at 19% annualized over that window. The more it moves, the further the two numbers separate.

QQQP

Over the quarter to Sep 30, 2026, QQQP lost 0.5%, against 1.2% for twice QQQ's return. Across its 7 completed quarters (Q1 2025 to Q3 2026), the gap to +2 times QQQ ran from −2.3 pts to −1.6 pts.

QQQP aims to return +2 times QQQ's move over each full calendar quarter, from the close of the last business day of one quarter to the close of the last business day of the next. It does not seek that multiple over any other period. Over the three months to Oct 27, 2026, QQQ returned 6.9%.

Questions people ask

Are QID and QQQP levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on the Nasdaq-100, QID at -2 times each day’s move and QQQP at +2 times each calendar quarter’s move.
Can I hold QID or QQQP for a year?
QID resets every day and QQQP resets every calendar quarter, so the multiple in each name applies to one period only, and the periods compound. Over a year the total is not the multiple times the year’s move.
Which is cheaper, QID or QQQP?
QID charges 0.95% a year and QQQP charges 1.00%, so QID is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
