CRD in plain words
One month to Sep 30, 2026: CRD returned −33.5% where its own daily promise gave −33.7%, 0.2 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times CRDO's −13.9% implies −27.8%, which makes CRD look 5.7 points short. 6.0 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. CRD aims to return +2 times CRDO'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. CRDO moved at 101% 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.
CRDU in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: CRDU returned −57.8% where its own daily promise gave −56.8%, 1.0 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times CRDO's −24.8% implies −49.6%, which makes CRDU look 8.2 points short. 7.2 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. CRDU aims to return +2 times CRDO's move each day, then resets. CRDO moved at 98% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, CRD or CRDU?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, CRD finished 5.7 points from what its multiple implies and CRDU finished 8.2 points from its own, so CRD came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are CRD and CRDU levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Credo Technology Group Holding, CRD at +2 times and CRDU at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, CRD or CRDU?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window CRD’s moved at 101% annualized and CRDU’s at 98%, so CRD has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold CRD or CRDU 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.
