TSDD in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: TSDD returned +18.9% where its own daily promise gave +17.3%, 1.5 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times TSLA's −16.6% implies +33.1%, which makes TSDD look 14.3 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. TSDD 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.
TSLZ in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: TSLZ returned +17.6% where its own daily promise gave +17.3%, 0.3 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times TSLA's −16.6% implies +33.1%, which makes TSLZ look 15.5 points short. TSLZ aims to return -2 times TSLA's move each day, then resets.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, TSDD or TSLZ?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, TSDD finished 14.3 points from what its multiple implies and TSLZ finished 15.5 points from its own, so TSDD came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are TSDD and TSLZ levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Tesla, TSDD at -2 times and TSLZ at -2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, TSDD or TSLZ?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window TSDD’s moved at 52% annualized and TSLZ’s at 52%, so TSDD has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold TSDD or TSLZ 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.
