SPCH in plain words
One month to Sep 11, 2026: SPCH returned +3.9% where its own daily promise gave +5.5%, 1.6 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times SPCX's 3.5% implies +6.9%, which makes SPCH look 3.1 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. SPCH 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.
SPCQ in plain words
One month to Sep 11, 2026: SPCQ returned −10.5% where its own daily promise gave −10.8%, 0.3 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times SPCX's 3.5% implies −6.9%, which makes SPCQ look 3.6 points short. 3.9 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. SPCQ aims to return -2 times SPCX'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, SPCH or SPCQ?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, SPCH finished 3.1 points from what its multiple implies and SPCQ finished 3.6 points from its own, so SPCH came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are SPCH and SPCQ levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Space Exploration Technologies, SPCH at +2 times and SPCQ at -2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, SPCH or SPCQ?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window SPCH’s moved at 43% annualized and SPCQ’s at 43%, so SPCH has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold SPCH or SPCQ 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.
