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. 12.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. HOOG 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.

HOOX in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: HOOX returned +23.3% where its own daily promise gave +29.0%, 5.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times HOOD's 20.8% implies +41.6%, which makes HOOX look 18.3 points short. HOOX aims to return +2 times HOOD's move each day, then resets.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, HOOG or HOOX?
Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, HOOG finished 17.7 points from what its multiple implies and HOOX finished 18.3 points from its own, so HOOG came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are HOOG and HOOX levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on Robinhood Markets, HOOG at +2 times and HOOX at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, HOOG or HOOX?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window HOOG’s moved at 74% annualized and HOOX’s at 74%, so HOOG has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold HOOG or HOOX 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, HOOG or HOOX?
HOOG charges 0.85% a year and HOOX charges 1.32%, so HOOG is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
