REK among the 35 inverse ETFs at 1x, over three months
How closely it delivered its daily multiple over 3 months, ranked against 35 inverse ETFs at 1x, over three months and 507 leveraged ETFs at 2x, over three months. 100 is best. How it is computed
XHOA among the 507 leveraged ETFs at 2x, over three months
A percentile among the 35 inverse ETFs at 1x, over three months. XHOA is a percentile among the 507 leveraged ETFs at 2x, over three months, a different set, so the two marks are not on one scale. Three months only, against the fund's own daily multiple; a different quarter can rank it very differently. All leveraged ETFs ranked by it →

Over the three months to Oct 27, 2026, REK returned 8.9%, against 7.1% for the inverse of XLRE's daily moves.
Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −1 times XLRE's −7.0% implies +7.0%, which makes REK look 1.9 points over. That is not the fund's objective, which is daily. Of that 1.9, daily compounding is +0.1 points, which any −1 times fund would show over the same path, and the fund itself is +1.8 points against −1 times each day's move, compounded. REK aims to return -1 times XLRE's move each day, then resets. Over one day it does that. Over longer periods the daily results compound, so the total is not -1 times the period's move: it is lower after a fall and recovery, and can be higher in a steady run. XLRE moved at 13% annualized over that window. The more it moves, the further the two numbers separate.
Over the three months to Oct 27, 2026, XHOA lost 16.5%, against −13.9% for twice XLRE's daily moves.
Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times XLRE's −7.0% implies −14.0%, which makes XHOA look 2.5 points short. Of that 2.5, daily compounding is +0.1 points, which any 2 times fund would show over the same path, and the fund itself is −2.6 points against 2 times each day's move, compounded. XHOA aims to return +2 times XLRE's move each day, then resets. 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.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its daily multiple, REK or XHOA?
- Over the window to Oct 27, 2026, REK finished 1.9 points from what its multiple implies and XHOA finished 2.5 points from its own, so REK came closer. Neither number predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are REK and XHOA levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on real estate, REK at -1 times and XHOA at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, REK or XHOA?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window REK’s moved at 13% annualized and XHOA’s at 13%, so REK has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold REK or XHOA 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.
