ETHU in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: ETHU returned +113.5% where its own daily promise gave +118.5%, 4.9 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times ETHA's 52.4% implies +104.9%, which makes ETHU look 8.7 points over. 13.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. ETHU aims to return +2 times ETHA'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. ETHA moved at 51% 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.
ETU in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: ETU returned +112.2% where its own daily promise gave +118.5%, 6.3 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times ETHA's 52.4% implies +104.9%, which makes ETU look 7.3 points over. ETU aims to return +2 times ETHA's move each day, then resets.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, ETHU or ETU?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, ETHU finished 8.7 points from what its multiple implies and ETU finished 7.3 points from its own, so ETU came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are ETHU and ETU levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on ether, ETHU at +2 times and ETU at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, ETHU or ETU?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window ETHU’s moved at 51% annualized and ETU’s at 51%, so ETHU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold ETHU or ETU 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, ETHU or ETU?
- ETHU charges 2.97% a year and ETU charges 0.95%, so ETU is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
