Summary
How this is computed
Questions people ask about BTDL
- Did BTDL return +2 times BTDR?
- Over the month to Oct 9, 2026, BTDR moved −21.9% and BTDL returned −43.2%. 2 times that move is −43.8%, so the fund came out 0.6 points ahead of it. Against its own daily promise, 2 times each day's move compounded, it was 1.2 points short.
- Why does BTDL not return +2 times over a year?
- Because it resets daily. BTDL 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.
