## Questions

### Did QBTZ return -2 times QBTS?

Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, QBTS moved −29.5% and QBTZ returned −15.3%. −2 times that move is +59.0%, so the fund came out 74.2 points short of it.

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

Because it resets daily. QBTZ 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.
