## Questions

### Did ASTY return +2 times ASTS?

Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, ASTS moved −31.6% and ASTY returned −64.0%. 2 times that move is −63.3%, so the fund came out 0.7 points short of it.

### Why does ASTY not return +2 times over a year?

Because it resets daily. ASTY 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.

### Which +2x ASTS ETF tracked its stated multiple most closely?

5 issuers sell one. Over the days all of them have been trading, the table on this page ranks them by how far each finished from 2 times the underlying's move. ETFIQ does not rate funds; the order is the figure itself.
