About SK

Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times SKHY's −13.3% implies −26.6%, which makes SK look 11.3 points short. That is not the fund's objective, which is daily. Of that 11.3, daily compounding is −8.7 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. SK aims to return +2 times SKHY's move each day, then resets. Over one day it does that. 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. SKHY moved at 78% annualized over that window. The more it moves, the further the two figures separate.

Over the three months to Oct 21, 2026, SK lost 37.9%, against −35.3% for twice SKHY's daily moves.

About SKHQ

Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times SKHY's −24.2% implies +48.4%, which makes SKHQ look 10.3 points over. SKHQ aims to return -2 times SKHY'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. SKHY moved at 55% annualized over that window.

Over the month to Oct 21, 2026, SKHQ returned 58.7%, against 59.1% for twice the inverse of SKHY's daily moves. Of that 10.3, daily compounding is +10.7 points, which any −2 times fund would show over the same path, and the fund itself is −0.4 points against −2 times each day's move, compounded.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its daily multiple, SK or SKHQ?
Over the window to Oct 21, 2026, SK finished 11.3 points from what its multiple implies and SKHQ finished 10.3 points from its own, so SKHQ came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are SK and SKHQ levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on SK hynix, SK at +2 times and SKHQ at -2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, SK or SKHQ?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window SK’s moved at 78% annualized and SKHQ’s at 55%, so SK has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold SK or SKHQ 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.
Which is cheaper, SK or SKHQ?
SK charges 0.50% a year and SKHQ charges 0.99%, so SK is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
