RXL in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: RXL returned +10.7% where its own daily promise gave +11.4%, 0.7 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times XLV's 6.0% implies +11.9%, which makes RXL look 1.2 points short. 0.5 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. RXL aims to return +2 times XLV'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. XLV moved at 18% 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.

XLVX in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: XLVX returned +9.8% where its own daily promise gave +11.4%, 1.6 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times XLV's 6.0% implies +11.9%, which makes XLVX look 2.1 points short. XLVX aims to return +2 times XLV's move each day, then resets.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, RXL or XLVX?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, RXL finished 1.2 points from what its multiple implies and XLVX finished 2.1 points from its own, so RXL came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are RXL and XLVX levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on health care, RXL at +2 times and XLVX at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, RXL or XLVX?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window RXL’s moved at 18% annualized and XLVX’s at 18%, so RXL has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold RXL or XLVX 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, RXL or XLVX?
RXL charges 0.95% a year and XLVX charges 0.45%, so XLVX is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
