Which came closer to its stated multiple, LOFD or SPCG?

Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, LOFD finished 2.7 points from what its multiple implies and SPCG finished 32.5 points from its own, so LOFD came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.

Are LOFD and SPCG levered on the same thing?

Yes. Both are levered on Space Exploration Technologies, LOFD at -2 times and SPCG at -2 times the daily move.

Which one decays faster, LOFD or SPCG?

Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window LOFD’s moved at 44% annualized and SPCG’s at 70%, so SPCG has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.

Can I hold LOFD or SPCG 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, LOFD or SPCG?

LOFD charges 0.97% a year and SPCG charges 1.49%, so LOFD is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.

LOFD in plain words

One month to Sep 30, 2026: LOFD returned −12.7% where its own daily promise gave −13.6%, 1.0 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times SPCX's 5.0% implies −10.0%, which makes LOFD look 2.7 points short. 3.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. LOFD aims to return -2 times SPCX'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. SPCX moved at 44% 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.

SPCG in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: SPCG returned −24.0% where its own daily promise gave −25.1%, 1.1 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times SPCX's −4.2% implies +8.5%, which makes SPCG look 32.5 points short. 33.6 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. SPCG aims to return -2 times SPCX's move each day, then resets. SPCX moved at 70% annualized over that window.
