HODU in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: HODU returned +24.3% where its own daily promise gave +29.0%, 4.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times HOOD's 20.8% implies +41.6%, which makes HODU look 17.3 points short. 12.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. HODU aims to return +2 times HOOD'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. HOOD moved at 74% 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.
HOOG in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: HOOG returned +23.9% where its own daily promise gave +29.0%, 5.1 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times HOOD's 20.8% implies +41.6%, which makes HOOG look 17.7 points short. HOOG aims to return +2 times HOOD's move each day, then resets.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, HODU or HOOG?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, HODU finished 17.3 points from what its multiple implies and HOOG finished 17.7 points from its own, so HODU came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are HODU and HOOG levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Robinhood Markets, HODU at +2 times and HOOG at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, HODU or HOOG?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window HODU’s moved at 74% annualized and HOOG’s at 74%, so HODU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold HODU or HOOG 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, HODU or HOOG?
- HODU charges 0.97% a year and HOOG charges 0.85%, so HOOG is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
