SPAX in plain words
One month to Sep 11, 2026: SPAX returned +4.2% where its own daily promise gave +5.5%, 1.3 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times SPCX's 3.5% implies +6.9%, which makes SPAX look 2.7 points short. 1.5 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. SPAX aims to return +2 times SPCX'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. SPCX moved at 43% 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.
SPCM in plain words
One month to Sep 11, 2026: SPCM returned +4.5% where its own daily promise gave +5.5%, 0.9 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times SPCX's 3.5% implies +6.9%, which makes SPCM look 2.4 points short. SPCM aims to return +2 times SPCX's move each day, then resets.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, SPAX or SPCM?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, SPAX finished 2.7 points from what its multiple implies and SPCM finished 2.4 points from its own, so SPCM came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are SPAX and SPCM levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Space Exploration Technologies, SPAX at +2 times and SPCM at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, SPAX or SPCM?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window SPAX’s moved at 43% annualized and SPCM’s at 43%, so SPAX has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold SPAX or SPCM 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, SPAX or SPCM?
- SPAX charges 1.50% a year and SPCM charges 1.49%, so SPCM is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
