UN in plain words

One month to Sep 30, 2026: UN returned −10.9% where its own daily promise gave −10.3%, 0.6 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times UNH's −5.2% implies −10.3%, which makes UN look 0.6 points short. 0.0 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. UN aims to return +2 times UNH'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. UNH 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.

UNHU in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: UNHU returned −28.1% where its own daily promise gave −25.9%, 2.2 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times UNH's −13.4% implies −26.8%, which makes UNHU look 1.2 points short. 0.9 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. UNHU aims to return +2 times UNH's move each day, then resets. UNH moved at 22% annualized over that window.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, UN or UNHU?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, UN finished 0.6 points from what its multiple implies and UNHU finished 1.2 points from its own, so UN came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are UN and UNHU levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on UnitedHealth, UN at +2 times and UNHU at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, UN or UNHU?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window UN’s moved at 19% annualized and UNHU’s at 22%, so UNHU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold UN or UNHU 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, UN or UNHU?
UN charges 0.45% a year and UNHU charges 0.97%, so UN is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
