Which came closer to its stated multiple, GOGL or GOU?

Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, GOGL finished 5.1 points from what its multiple implies and GOU finished 4.6 points from its own, so GOU came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.

Are GOGL and GOU levered on the same thing?

Yes. Both are levered on Alphabet, GOGL at +2 times and GOU at +2 times the daily move.

Which one decays faster, GOGL or GOU?

Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window GOGL’s moved at 34% annualized and GOU’s at 34%, so GOGL has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.

Can I hold GOGL or GOU 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, GOGL or GOU?

GOGL charges 0.45% a year and GOU charges 1.15%, so GOGL is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.

GOGL in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: GOGL returned −14.4% where its own daily promise gave −11.7%, 2.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times GOOGL's −4.7% implies −9.4%, which makes GOGL look 5.1 points short. 2.4 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. GOGL aims to return +2 times GOOGL'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. GOOGL moved at 34% 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.

GOU in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: GOU returned −13.9% where its own daily promise gave −11.7%, 2.2 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times GOOGL's −4.7% implies −9.4%, which makes GOU look 4.6 points short. GOU aims to return +2 times GOOGL's move each day, then resets.
