## Questions

### Did SMZ return -2 times SMR?

Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, SMR moved −12.9% and SMZ returned −34.0%. 2 times that move is +25.9%, so the fund came out 59.9 points short of it.

### Why does SMZ not return -2 times over a year?

Because it resets daily. SMZ aims at -2 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 -2 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.
