There is no certainty, however, that the Fund will always meet this specific goal. Furthermore, investors should not expect the Fund to provide double the total accumulated return of NVDA for any timeframe extending beyond a single day.

Current NVDL snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $28.41, ATM IV 73.29%, IV rank 28.16%, expected move 21.01%. The long put on NVDL below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 32-day expiry.
Why this long put structure on NVDL specifically: NVDL IV at 73.29% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a NVDL long put, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 21.01% (roughly $5.97 on the underlying). The 32-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated NVDL expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on NVDL should anchor to the underlying notional of $28.41 per share and to the trader's directional view on NVDL etf.
NVDL long put setup
The NVDL long put below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With NVDL near $28.41, the first option leg uses a $28.33 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed NVDL chain at a 32-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 NVDL shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

NVDL thesis for this long put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for NVDL extends from approximately $22.44 on the downside to $34.38 on the upside. A NVDL long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long NVDL position with one put per 100 shares held. Current NVDL IV rank near 28.16% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on NVDL at 73.29%. As a Financial Services name, NVDL options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to NVDL-specific events.
NVDL long put positions are structurally bearish; the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. NVDL positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move NVDL alongside the broader basket even when NVDL-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long put on NVDL are particularly exposed to IV-crush risk through scheduled events (earnings, FDA decisions, central-bank meetings) where IV typically contracts post-event regardless of the directional outcome. Always rebuild the position from current NVDL chain quotes before placing a trade.
