A percentile among the 470 leveraged ETFs, long, over three months. SNDQ is a percentile among the 125 inverse ETFs over three months, a different set, so the two marks are not on one scale. It is a position in a set, not a rating, and neither end of it is a recommendation. All leveraged ETFs ranked by it → How it is computed →

SNDC in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: SNDC returned −51.8% where its own daily promise gave −47.7%, 4.1 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times SNDK's −14.4% implies −28.8%, which makes SNDC look 23.0 points short. 18.9 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. SNDC aims to return +2 times SNDK'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. SNDK moved at 117% 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.
SNDQ in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: SNDQ returned −54.7% where its own daily promise gave −55.0%, 0.3 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times SNDK's −14.4% implies +28.8%, which makes SNDQ look 83.4 points short. 83.8 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. SNDQ aims to return -2 times SNDK'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, SNDC or SNDQ?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, SNDC finished 23.0 points from what its multiple implies and SNDQ finished 83.4 points from its own, so SNDC came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are SNDC and SNDQ levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Sandisk, SNDC at +2 times and SNDQ at -2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, SNDC or SNDQ?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window SNDC’s moved at 117% annualized and SNDQ’s at 117%, so SNDC has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold SNDC or SNDQ 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.
