NVC in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: NVC returned +26.9% where its own daily promise gave +29.2%, 2.2 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times NVDA's 15.7% implies +31.4%, which makes NVC look 4.5 points short. 2.2 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. NVC aims to return +2 times NVDA'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. NVDA moved at 38% 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.

NVDU in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: NVDU returned +26.3% where its own daily promise gave +29.2%, 2.9 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times NVDA's 15.7% implies +31.4%, which makes NVDU look 5.2 points short. NVDU aims to return +2 times NVDA's move each day, then resets.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, NVC or NVDU?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, NVC finished 4.5 points from what its multiple implies and NVDU finished 5.2 points from its own, so NVC came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are NVC and NVDU levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on NVIDIA, NVC at +2 times and NVDU at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, NVC or NVDU?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window NVC’s moved at 38% annualized and NVDU’s at 38%, so NVC has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold NVC or NVDU 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, NVC or NVDU?
NVC charges 0.45% a year and NVDU charges 0.92%, so NVC is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
