The effects of daily rebalancing on the funds long term performance

 

The daily rebalancing of the funds will affect their long term performance, ie the funds return over a period longer than one day.

The returns over a period longer than one day will deviate from the funds leverage (1.5) multiplied by the index return for the period.

Daily rebalancing will have a positive effect on the returns for a period longer than one day in some market conditions and negative in other conditions.

If the OMXS30 index increased by 5% from the 1 February to the 31 march would XACT Bull have increased in value by 7.5% over the same period?


No. The fund's return for the period can only be calculated by compounding the daily returns over that period. Just multiplying the index return by 1.5 will not give you a correct value. In some market conditions the funds will return more than 1.5 times the index return, on other conditions less.
