UCC in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: UCC returned −16.8% where its own daily promise gave −15.5%, 1.3 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times XLY's −7.6% implies −15.3%, which makes UCC look 1.5 points short. 0.2 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. UCC aims to return +2 times XLY'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. XLY moved at 19% 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.

XLYX in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: XLYX returned −17.4% where its own daily promise gave −15.5%, 1.9 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times XLY's −7.6% implies −15.3%, which makes XLYX look 2.1 points short. XLYX aims to return +2 times XLY's move each day, then resets.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, UCC or XLYX?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, UCC finished 1.5 points from what its multiple implies and XLYX finished 2.1 points from its own, so UCC came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are UCC and XLYX levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on State Street Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF, UCC at +2 times and XLYX at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, UCC or XLYX?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window UCC’s moved at 19% annualized and XLYX’s at 19%, so UCC has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold UCC or XLYX 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, UCC or XLYX?
UCC charges 0.95% a year and XLYX charges 0.45%, so XLYX is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
