UGE in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: UGE returned −6.4% where its own daily promise gave −4.9%, 1.5 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times XLP's −2.2% implies −4.3%, which makes UGE look 2.1 points short. 0.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any +2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. UGE aims to return +2 times XLP'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. XLP moved at 17% 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.

XLPX in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: XLPX returned −7.0% where its own daily promise gave −4.9%, 2.0 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and +2 times XLP's −2.2% implies −4.3%, which makes XLPX look 2.7 points short. XLPX aims to return +2 times XLP's move each day, then resets.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, UGE or XLPX?
Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, UGE finished 2.1 points from what its multiple implies and XLPX finished 2.7 points from its own, so UGE came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are UGE and XLPX levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on STATE STREET(R) CONSUMER STAPLES SELECT SECTOR SPDR(R) ETF, UGE at +2 times and XLPX at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, UGE or XLPX?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window UGE’s moved at 17% annualized and XLPX’s at 17%, so UGE has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold UGE or XLPX 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, UGE or XLPX?
UGE charges 0.95% a year and XLPX charges 0.45%, so XLPX is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
