CIFC in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: CIFC returned −68.4% where its own daily promise gave −67.7%, 0.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times CIFR's −30.7% implies −61.4%, which makes CIFC look 7.0 points short. 6.3 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. CIFC aims to return +2 times CIFR'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. CIFR moved at 127% 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.

Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, CIFC or CIFG?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, CIFC finished 7.0 points from what its multiple implies and CIFG finished 8.1 points from its own, so CIFC came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are CIFC and CIFG levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Cipher Digital, CIFC at +2 times and CIFG at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, CIFC or CIFG?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window CIFC’s moved at 127% annualized and CIFG’s at 127%, so CIFC has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold CIFC or CIFG 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.
