About SKHN
Over the month to Oct 21, 2026, SKHN returned 59.1%, against 59.1% for twice the inverse of SKHY's daily moves. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times SKHY's −24.2% implies +48.4%, which makes SKHN look 10.7 points over. That is not the fund's objective, which is daily. SKHN 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.
Of that 10.7, daily compounding is +10.8 points, which any −2 times fund would show over the same path, and the fund itself is −0.1 points against −2 times each day's move, compounded.
About SKUU
Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times SKHY's −13.3% implies −26.6%, which makes SKUU look 10.9 points short. Of that 10.9, daily compounding is −8.7 points, which any 2 times fund would show over the same path, and the fund itself is −2.2 points against 2 times each day's move, compounded. SKUU 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 78% annualized over that window.
Over the three months to Oct 21, 2026, SKUU lost 37.5%, against −35.3% for twice SKHY's daily moves.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its daily multiple, SKHN or SKUU?
- Over the window to Oct 21, 2026, SKHN finished 10.7 points from what its multiple implies and SKUU finished 10.9 points from its own, so SKHN came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are SKHN and SKUU levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on SK hynix, SKHN at -2 times and SKUU at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, SKHN or SKUU?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window SKHN’s moved at 55% annualized and SKUU’s at 78%, so SKUU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold SKHN or SKUU 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.
