RGTC in plain words
One month to Sep 30, 2026: RGTC returned −1.6% where its own daily promise gave −0.8%, 0.8 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times RGTI's 0.5% implies +1.0%, which makes RGTC look 2.6 points short. 1.8 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. RGTC aims to return +2 times RGTI'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. RGTI moved at 48% 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.
RGTX in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: RGTX returned −45.5% where its own daily promise gave −38.8%, 6.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times RGTI's −15.7% implies −31.5%, which makes RGTX look 14.1 points short. 7.3 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. RGTX aims to return +2 times RGTI's move each day, then resets. RGTI moved at 78% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, RGTC or RGTX?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, RGTC finished 2.6 points from what its multiple implies and RGTX finished 14.1 points from its own, so RGTC came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are RGTC and RGTX levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Rigetti Computing, RGTC at +2 times and RGTX at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, RGTC or RGTX?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window RGTC’s moved at 48% annualized and RGTX’s at 78%, so RGTX has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold RGTC or RGTX 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.
