Daily Leverage Reset

Daily leverage reset is the leveraged ETF mechanism described in vol.121.从昙花一现的分级基金到风头正劲的杠杆ETF：永远不要低估人性的疯狂. A product such as TQQQ or NVDL targets a multiple of one day’s move, then rebalances so the next day again starts from the new asset value.

The source frames daily reset as a tradeoff. It avoids the rising-leverage spiral that Chinese structured-fund B shares faced as NAV fell, but it creates path dependency: repeated ups and downs can reduce a fund even when the underlying ends near where it started.

Key Claims

• Daily reset makes the stated leverage ratio a one-day target.
• Holding-period returns depend on the sequence of daily returns, not only the start and end price of the underlying.
• Resetting can be helpful in trends, but damaging in sideways or volatile markets.
• Investor misunderstanding of the word “daily” is a central suitability risk.
