How this is computed
On a month from SEC Form N-PORT, money in is the filing’s sales plus reinvestments and money out its redemptions. On a month that is the sum of its days, money in sums the days money came in and money out the days it went out.
A month from SEC Form N-PORT is sales and reinvestments less redemptions as filed; a later month is the sum of its days, and says so where a day is missing.

Questions people ask about PLTD
- Did PLTD return -1 times PLTR?
- Over the three months to Oct 9, 2026, PLTR moved +64.9% and PLTD returned −46.9%. −1 times that move is −64.9%, so the fund came out 18.0 points ahead of it. Against its own daily promise, −1 times each day's move compounded, it was 0.8 points over.
- Why does PLTD not return -1 times over a year?
- Because it resets daily. PLTD aims at -1 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 -1 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.
