CORD vs CRWU: which held to its multiple?
Over three months against its own daily promise, CORD finished 0.3 points short and CRWU 1.8 points short. T-REX 2X INVERSE CRWV DAILY TARGET ETF and T-REX 2X Long CRWV Daily Target ETF.
CORD returned −58.4% while −2 times CRWV's move would have been −3.3%
CRWU returned −19.0% while 2 times CRWV's move would have been +3.3%
CORD among the 125 inverse ETFs over three months
CRWU among the 470 leveraged ETFs, long, over three months
A percentile among the 125 inverse ETFs over three months. CRWU is a percentile among the 470 leveraged ETFs, long, over three months, a different set, so the two marks are not on one scale. It is a position in a set, not a rating, and neither end of it is a recommendation. All leveraged ETFs ranked by it → How it is computed →

CORD in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: CORD returned −58.4% where its own daily promise gave −58.1%, 0.3 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times CRWV's 1.7% implies −3.3%, which makes CORD look 55.1 points short. 54.7 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. CORD aims to return -2 times CRWV'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. CRWV moved at 100% 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.
CRWU in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: CRWU returned −19.0% where its own daily promise gave −17.3%, 1.8 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times CRWV's 1.7% implies +3.3%, which makes CRWU look 22.4 points short. 20.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. CRWU aims to return +2 times CRWV's move each day, then resets. 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.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, CORD or CRWU?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, CORD finished 55.1 points from what its multiple implies and CRWU finished 22.4 points from its own, so CRWU came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are CORD and CRWU levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on CoreWeave, CORD at -2 times and CRWU at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, CORD or CRWU?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window CORD’s moved at 100% annualized and CRWU’s at 100%, so CORD has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold CORD or CRWU 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.
