EPV in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: EPV returned +2.4% where its own daily promise gave +0.6%, 1.8 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times VGK's −0.9% implies +1.7%, which makes EPV look 0.7 points over. 1.1 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. EPV aims to return -2 times VGK'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. VGK moved at 12% 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.

XEUR in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: XEUR returned −5.0% where its own daily promise gave −2.1%, 2.9 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times VGK's −0.9% implies −1.7%, which makes XEUR look 3.3 points short. 0.3 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. XEUR aims to return +2 times VGK'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, EPV or XEUR?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, EPV finished 0.7 points from what its multiple implies and XEUR finished 3.3 points from its own, so EPV came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are EPV and XEUR levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on Vanguard FTSEEuropean ETF, EPV at -2 times and XEUR at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, EPV or XEUR?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window EPV’s moved at 12% annualized and XEUR’s at 12%, so EPV has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold EPV or XEUR 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, EPV or XEUR?
EPV charges 0.95% a year and XEUR charges 0.45%, so XEUR is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
