CURE in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: CURE returned +19.5% where its own daily promise gave +22.5%, 3.0 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +3 times XLV's 8.0% implies +23.9%, which makes CURE look 4.4 points short. 1.4 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +3 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. CURE aims to return +3 times XLV's move each day, then resets. Over one day it does that. Over longer, the daily results compound, so the total is not +3 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. XLV moved at 19% 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.
XLVX in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: XLVX returned +13.5% where its own daily promise gave +15.5%, 2.0 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times XLV's 8.0% implies +16.0%, which makes XLVX look 2.5 points short. 0.4 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. XLVX aims to return +2 times XLV's move each day, then resets. 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.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, CURE or XLVX?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, CURE finished 4.4 points from what its multiple implies and XLVX finished 2.5 points from its own, so XLVX came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are CURE and XLVX levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on health care, CURE at +3 times and XLVX at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, CURE or XLVX?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window CURE’s moved at 19% annualized and XLVX’s at 19%, so CURE has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold CURE or XLVX 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, CURE or XLVX?
- CURE charges 0.94% a year and XLVX charges 0.45%, so XLVX is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
