About each fund
HYNX

Over the three months to Nov 12, 2026, HYNX lost 42.6%, against −40.5% for twice SKHY's daily moves.

Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times SKHY's −16.9% implies −33.8%, which makes HYNX look 8.8 points short. That is not the fund's objective, which is daily. Of that 8.8, daily compounding is −6.7 points, which any 2 times fund would show over the same path, and the fund itself is −2.1 points against 2 times each day's move, compounded. HYNX aims to return +2 times SKHY's move each day, then resets. Over one day it does that. Over longer periods the daily results compound, so the total is not +2 times the period's move: it is lower after a fall and recovery, and can be higher in a steady run. SKHY moved at 75% annualized over that window. The more it moves, the further the two numbers separate.

SKUU

Over the three months to Nov 12, 2026, SKUU lost 42.2%, against −40.5% for twice SKHY's daily moves.

Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times SKHY's −16.9% implies −33.8%, which makes SKUU look 8.4 points short. Of that 8.4, daily compounding is −6.7 points, which any 2 times fund would show over the same path, and the fund itself is −1.7 points against 2 times each day's move, compounded. SKUU aims to return +2 times SKHY's move each day, then resets.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its daily multiple, HYNX or SKUU?
Over the window to Nov 12, 2026, HYNX finished 8.8 points from what its multiple implies and SKUU finished 8.4 points from its own, so SKUU came closer. Neither number predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are HYNX and SKUU levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on SK hynix, HYNX at +2 times and SKUU at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, HYNX or SKUU?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window HYNX’s moved at 75% annualized and SKUU’s at 75%, so HYNX has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold HYNX or SKUU for a year?
Both reset every day, so the multiple in the name applies to a single day, and daily results compound. Over a year the total is not the multiple times the year’s move; after a fall and recovery it is lower.
Which is cheaper, HYNX or SKUU?
HYNX charges 1.25% a year and SKUU charges 1.50%, so HYNX is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
