ACHX in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: ACHX returned −15.4% where its own daily promise gave −12.2%, 3.2 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times ACHR's 1.0% implies +2.0%, which makes ACHX look 17.4 points short. 14.2 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. ACHX aims to return +2 times ACHR'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. ACHR moved at 81% 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.
ARCX in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: ARCX returned −15.9% where its own daily promise gave −12.2%, 3.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times ACHR's 1.0% implies +2.0%, which makes ARCX look 18.0 points short. ARCX aims to return +2 times ACHR's move each day, then resets.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, ACHX or ARCX?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, ACHX finished 17.4 points from what its multiple implies and ARCX finished 18.0 points from its own, so ACHX came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are ACHX and ARCX levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Archer Aviation, ACHX at +2 times and ARCX at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, ACHX or ARCX?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window ACHX’s moved at 81% annualized and ARCX’s at 81%, so ACHX has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold ACHX or ARCX 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.
