## Questions

### Did LABD return -3 times XBI?

Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, XBI moved +16.9% and LABD returned −43.2%. 3 times that move is −50.6%, so the fund came out 7.3 points ahead of it.

### Why does LABD not return -3 times over a year?

Because it resets daily. LABD aims at -3 times each day's move, and daily results compound. Over a run where the underlying falls and comes back, compounding a levered daily return leaves a holder behind what -3 times the period move would suggest; over a steady run in one direction it can leave them ahead. The longer the holding, and the more the underlying moves about, the further apart the two figures get.
