Our read on each fund
TBTB
TMVD
In short
TBT The original way to lean against long Treasuries. Live since 2008, TBT aims to deliver twice the inverse of the ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index's daily move, at the lowest fee in the leveraged bear-Treasury crowd.
TMV TMV aims for 300% of the inverse daily move of the ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index, then resets the clock every day. Running since 2009 and priced under the typical bear-Treasury fund, it is built around a one-day objective.
Stated mandate
TBT The fund seeks inverse, twice-magnified daily exposure to the ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index, aiming to benefit when that index's daily price declines.
TMV The fund seeks, before fees and expenses, daily results equal to 300% of the inverse performance of the ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index. This objective applies to a single day rather than longer holding periods.
