GLGG in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: GLGG returned −40.0% where its own daily promise gave −37.3%, 2.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times GLXY's −12.1% implies −24.1%, which makes GLGG look 15.9 points short. 13.2 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. GLGG aims to return +2 times GLXY'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. GLXY moved at 91% 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.
GLX in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: GLX returned −39.7% where its own daily promise gave −37.3%, 2.4 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times GLXY's −12.1% implies −24.1%, which makes GLX look 15.6 points short. GLX aims to return +2 times GLXY's move each day, then resets.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, GLGG or GLX?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, GLGG finished 15.9 points from what its multiple implies and GLX finished 15.6 points from its own, so GLX came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are GLGG and GLX levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Galaxy Digital, GLGG at +2 times and GLX at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, GLGG or GLX?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window GLGG’s moved at 91% annualized and GLX’s at 91%, so GLGG has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold GLGG or GLX 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.
