SCC in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: SCC returned +5.3% where its own daily promise gave +2.8%, 2.5 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times XLY's −2.9% implies +5.9%, which makes SCC look 0.6 points short. 3.1 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. SCC aims to return -2 times XLY'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. XLY moved at 21% 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.
UCC in plain words
Three months to Sep 11, 2026: UCC returned −7.9% where its own daily promise gave −6.8%, 1.1 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times XLY's −2.9% implies −5.9%, which makes UCC look 2.0 points short. 0.9 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. UCC aims to return +2 times XLY'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, SCC or UCC?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, SCC finished 0.6 points from what its multiple implies and UCC finished 2.0 points from its own, so SCC came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are SCC and UCC levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on STATE STREET(R) CONSUMER DISCRETIONARY SELECT SECTOR SPDR(R) ETF, SCC at -2 times and UCC at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, SCC or UCC?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window SCC’s moved at 21% annualized and UCC’s at 21%, so SCC has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold SCC or UCC 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, SCC or UCC?
- SCC charges 0.95% a year and UCC charges 0.95%, so SCC is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
