Want leveraged US tech exposure without opening an overseas brokerage account? 00670L trades on the Taiwan exchange in TWD and delivers 2× the daily Nasdaq-100. This page loads its leverage factor and fund costs into the simulator, using QQQ's 10-year return and volatility as the assumptions.
Compare how much of a leveraged ETF to hold versus its plain 1× index — five splits from all-leverage to all-index, rebalanced monthly, quarterly or yearly. See CAGR, drawdown and risk-adjusted return, volatility decay included.
Underlying index
Leverage & rebalancing
The tool compares five fixed splits — 100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75, 0/100 — of this leveraged fund and its plain 1× index, all rebalanced yearly.
Capital & horizon
Strategy comparison
Each column is a split between the 2× fund and its plain 1× index (leveraged % / index %), rebalanced yearly. Effective exposure = leveraged share × 2 + index share × 1 (shown under each split); 0/100 is the plain 1× index.
Median growth by strategy
Based on 500 simulated paths with daily-reset leverage. A simplified lognormal model, not a forecast: real markets have fatter tails, jumps, and shifting volatility, all of which hit leverage harder. Treat as rough odds, not promises.
Under the prefilled assumptions, going 100% 00670L for 10 years lands at a median value of about 1.7M (≈32.6% annualised) — with a median max drawdown of −52.5% along the way. A 50/50 blend with the plain 1× index comes to about 1.1M with the drawdown cut to −40.9%; skipping leverage entirely (pure 1× index) gives about 655K at −27.8%.
Monte Carlo simulation seeded with the underlying index's 10-year CAGR and estimated volatility. That decade was a strong bull run — shave a few points off the return and look again.
The Nasdaq-100 pairs high return with high volatility, and 2× amplifies both: the compounding in bull years is remarkable, but so is the decay relative to a lower-vol index at the same leverage. The middle columns are the interesting ones — part 2× fund, part 1× index usually captures most of the excess return at a much shallower drawdown. There's also a layer the simulator doesn't model: 00670L is TWD-denominated, USD-underlying and unhedged, so the exchange rate stacks directly on your return. Treat it as one more layer of invisible volatility.
Good fit: investors with a Taiwan brokerage account who want to accumulate leveraged tech exposure and can stomach deep drawdowns — commonly run as a satellite next to a broad-market core.
Watch out: a 5% TWD appreciation against the USD takes roughly 5% straight off your return (and vice versa), and the simulator doesn't model it. The prefilled 20.7% CAGR comes from tech's strongest decade ever — discount it yourself.
This is a free side project I built in my spare time. If it saved you time or helped you think through a decision, buying me a coffee keeps the lights on!
How much of a leveraged ETF should you hold versus the plain index? Compare 100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75 and 0/100 splits of a 2×/3× fund and its 1× index — all rebalanced yearly — on CAGR, max drawdown, Sharpe and Calmar.
