CIEG in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: CIEG returned −49.4% where its own daily promise gave −47.0%, 2.4 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times CIEN's −21.6% implies −43.2%, which makes CIEG look 6.1 points short. 3.7 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. CIEG aims to return +2 times CIEN's move each day, then resets. Over one day it does that. Over longer, the daily results compound, so the total is not +2 times the period's move: in a market that falls and comes back it is reliably less, and in a steady run it can be more. CIEN moved at 76% annualized over that window. That is what decides how far the two figures separate: the same fund on a calm underlying and a violent one is a different product.

CIEX in plain words

One month to Sep 11, 2026: CIEX returned −38.4% where its own daily promise gave −37.6%, 0.8 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times CIEN's −19.1% implies −38.2%, which makes CIEX look 0.2 points short. 0.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. CIEX aims to return +2 times CIEN's move each day, then resets. CIEN moved at 70% annualized over that window.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, CIEG or CIEX?
Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, CIEG finished 6.1 points from what its multiple implies and CIEX finished 0.2 points from its own, so CIEX came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are CIEG and CIEX levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on CIEN, CIEG at +2 times and CIEX at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, CIEG or CIEX?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window CIEG’s moved at 76% annualized and CIEX’s at 70%, so CIEG has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold CIEG or CIEX for a year?
Both reset every day, so the multiple in the name applies to a single day and the daily results compound. Over a year the total is not the multiple times the year’s move, and in a market that falls and comes back it is reliably less. ETFIQ makes no recommendation either way.
Which is cheaper, CIEG or CIEX?
CIEG charges 0.75% a year and CIEX charges 1.49%, so CIEG is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
