CRMU in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: CRMU returned −69.2% where its own daily promise gave −67.0%, 2.2 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times CRML's −35.0% implies −70.1%, which makes CRMU look 0.9 points over. 3.1 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. CRMU aims to return +2 times CRML'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. CRML moved at 105% 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.

CRMX in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: CRMX returned −68.4% where its own daily promise gave −67.0%, 1.4 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times CRML's −35.0% implies −70.1%, which makes CRMX look 1.7 points over. CRMX aims to return +2 times CRML's move each day, then resets.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, CRMU or CRMX?
Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, CRMU finished 0.9 points from what its multiple implies and CRMX finished 1.7 points from its own, so CRMU came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are CRMU and CRMX levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on CRML, CRMU at +2 times and CRMX at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, CRMU or CRMX?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window CRMU’s moved at 105% annualized and CRMX’s at 105%, so CRMU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold CRMU or CRMX 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, CRMU or CRMX?
CRMU charges 0.75% a year and CRMX charges 1.49%, so CRMU is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
