ORCU in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: ORCU returned −39.7% where its own daily promise gave −37.9%, 1.9 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times ORCL's −18.1% implies −36.2%, which makes ORCU look 3.6 points short. 1.7 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. ORCU aims to return +2 times ORCL'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. ORCL moved at 56% 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.
ORCZ in plain words
One month to Sep 11, 2026: ORCZ returned −1.9% where its own daily promise gave −1.5%, 0.4 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times ORCL's −2.0% implies +3.9%, which makes ORCZ look 5.8 points short. 5.5 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. ORCZ aims to return -2 times ORCL'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. ORCL moved at 47% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, ORCU or ORCZ?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, ORCU finished 3.6 points from what its multiple implies and ORCZ finished 5.8 points from its own, so ORCU came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are ORCU and ORCZ levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on ORCL, ORCU at +2 times and ORCZ at -2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, ORCU or ORCZ?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window ORCU’s moved at 56% annualized and ORCZ’s at 47%, so ORCU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold ORCU or ORCZ 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, ORCU or ORCZ?
- ORCU charges 0.97% a year and ORCZ charges 1.49%, so ORCU is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
