Which came closer to its stated multiple, TESC or TSLQ?

Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, TESC finished 4.4 points from what its multiple implies and TSLQ finished 13.5 points from its own, so TESC came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.

Are TESC and TSLQ levered on the same thing?

Yes. Both are levered on Tesla, TESC at +2 times and TSLQ at -2 times the daily move.

Which one decays faster, TESC or TSLQ?

Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window TESC’s moved at 52% annualized and TSLQ’s at 52%, so TESC has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.

Can I hold TESC or TSLQ 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, TESC or TSLQ?

TESC charges 0.45% a year and TSLQ charges 1.15%, so TESC is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.

TESC in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: TESC returned −37.5% where its own daily promise gave −35.6%, 2.0 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times TSLA's −16.6% implies −33.1%, which makes TESC look 4.4 points short. 2.4 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. TESC aims to return +2 times TSLA'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. TSLA moved at 52% 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.

TSLQ in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: TSLQ returned +19.7% where its own daily promise gave +17.3%, 2.4 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times TSLA's −16.6% implies +33.1%, which makes TSLQ look 13.5 points short. 15.8 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. TSLQ aims to return -2 times TSLA'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.
