About SKHA
Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times SKHY's −24.2% implies −48.4%, which makes SKHA look 3.3 points over. That is not the fund's objective, which is daily. SKHA 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 55% annualized over that window. The more it moves, the further the two figures separate.
Over the month to Oct 21, 2026, SKHA lost 45.1%, against −44.3% for twice SKHY's daily moves. Of that 3.3, daily compounding is +4.1 points, which any 2 times fund would show over the same path, and the fund itself is −0.8 points against 2 times each day's move, compounded.
About SKHZ
Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −1 times SKHY's −13.3% implies +13.3%, which makes SKHZ look 14.3 points short. Of that 14.3, daily compounding is −14.5 points, which any −1 times fund would show over the same path, and the fund itself is +0.2 points against −1 times each day's move, compounded. SKHZ aims to return -1 times SKHY's move each day, then resets. 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. SKHY moved at 78% annualized over that window.
Over the three months to Oct 21, 2026, SKHZ lost 1.0%, against −1.2% for the inverse of SKHY's daily moves.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its daily multiple, SKHA or SKHZ?
- Over the window to Oct 21, 2026, SKHA finished 3.3 points from what its multiple implies and SKHZ finished 14.3 points from its own, so SKHA came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are SKHA and SKHZ levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on SK hynix, SKHA at +2 times and SKHZ at -1 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, SKHA or SKHZ?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window SKHA’s moved at 55% annualized and SKHZ’s at 78%, so SKHZ has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold SKHA or SKHZ 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.
