EDC among the 470 leveraged ETFs, long, over three months
EEV among the 125 inverse ETFs over three months
A percentile among the 470 leveraged ETFs, long, over three months. EEV is a percentile among the 125 inverse ETFs 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 →

EDC in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: EDC returned −5.8% where its own daily promise gave −3.0%, 2.8 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 3 times EEM's 0.5% implies +1.4%, which makes EDC look 7.2 points short. 4.4 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 3 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. EDC aims to return +3 times EEM's move each day, then resets. Over one day it does that. Over longer, the daily results compound, so the total is not +3 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. EEM moved at 24% 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.
EEV in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: EEV returned −3.3% where its own daily promise gave −5.2%, 1.9 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times EEM's 0.5% implies −0.9%, which makes EEV look 2.4 points short. 4.3 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. EEV aims to return -2 times EEM'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, EDC or EEV?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, EDC finished 7.2 points from what its multiple implies and EEV finished 2.4 points from its own, so EEV came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are EDC and EEV levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on emerging markets, EDC at +3 times and EEV at -2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, EDC or EEV?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window EDC’s moved at 24% annualized and EEV’s at 24%, so EDC has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold EDC or EEV 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.
