Which came closer to its stated multiple, CIFC or CIFU?

Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, CIFC finished 7.0 points from what its multiple implies and CIFU finished 8.2 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 CIFU levered on the same thing?

Yes. Both are levered on Cipher Digital, CIFC at +2 times and CIFU at +2 times the daily move.

Which one decays faster, CIFC or CIFU?

Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window CIFC’s moved at 127% annualized and CIFU’s at 127%, so CIFC has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.

Can I hold CIFC or CIFU 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, CIFC or CIFU?

CIFC charges 0.45% a year and CIFU charges 1.50%, so CIFC is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.

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.

CIFU in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: CIFU returned −69.6% where its own daily promise gave −67.7%, 1.9 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times CIFR's −30.7% implies −61.4%, which makes CIFU look 8.2 points short. CIFU aims to return +2 times CIFR's move each day, then resets.
