How it trades on rate days

How QTUM has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.60 — moves strongly with bonds for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Defiance Quantum ETF moved 0.60% on average · correlation 0.17 · higher than 61% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.95 more rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −1.11% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days +0.01% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — Defiance Quantum ETF

QTUM in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Defiance Quantum ETF is an exchange-traded fund that tracks an index of companies linked to quantum computing and machine-learning technology, using equal weighting rather than market-cap weighting. It holds a basket passively, so its return follows the spread of names in the index, not any single business.
Where it sits in the stack
It has no seat in our index; it sits in the tech-thematics sleeve of exchange-traded funds that the diary uses to read sentiment across quantum, AI and semiconductor themes rather than as a constituent of the stack itself.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's tech-thematics screen groups it with other quantum and AI thematic funds, DTCR and WTAI, and tracks it alongside the semiconductor ETFs SMH, XSD and SOXX that move in the same screen.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
It carries no Closelooknet score and holds no index seat; the diary has quoted it twice, once in a Strategy piece on selling calls into a paused rally and once in a Weekly Signal note on broadening tech breadth, both citing it among thematic funds hitting new highs alongside the semiconductor names.
What the diary watches
The diary watches whether its return keeps tracking the semiconductor rally it tends to appear beside in the tech-thematics screen, or starts to move on its own once that rally pauses.
