About SKHU
Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times SKHY's −13.3% implies −26.6%, which makes SKHU look 12.7 points short. That is not the fund's objective, which is daily. Of that 12.7, daily compounding is −8.7 points, which any 2 times fund would show over the same path, and the fund itself is −4.0 points against 2 times each day's move, compounded. SKHU 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, SKHU lost 39.3%, against −35.3% for twice SKHY's daily moves.
About SKHX
Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times SKHY's −13.3% implies −26.6%, which makes SKHX look 11.8 points short.

SKHX aims to return +2 times SKHY's move each day, then resets.
Over the three months to Oct 21, 2026, SKHX lost 38.4%, against −35.3% for twice SKHY's daily moves.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its daily multiple, SKHU or SKHX?
- Over the window to Oct 21, 2026, SKHU finished 12.7 points from what its multiple implies and SKHX finished 11.8 points from its own, so SKHX came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are SKHU and SKHX levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on SK hynix, SKHU at +2 times and SKHX at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, SKHU or SKHX?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window SKHU’s moved at 78% annualized and SKHX’s at 78%, so SKHU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold SKHU or SKHX 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.
