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 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.
SSPC in plain words
One month to Sep 11, 2026: SSPC returned −10.7% where its own daily promise gave −10.8%, 0.1 points over.

Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, SPCQ or SSPC?
- Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, SPCQ finished 3.6 points from what its multiple implies and SSPC finished 3.8 points from its own, so SPCQ came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are SPCQ and SSPC levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Space Exploration Technologies, SPCQ at -2 times and SSPC at -2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, SPCQ or SSPC?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window SPCQ’s moved at 43% annualized and SSPC’s at 43%, so SPCQ has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold SPCQ or SSPC 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.
