UXI in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: UXI returned −18.0% where its own daily promise gave −17.1%, 0.9 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times XLI's −8.7% implies −17.4%, which makes UXI look 0.6 points short. 0.3 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. UXI aims to return +2 times XLI'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. XLI moved at 14% 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.

XLIX in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: XLIX returned −19.2% where its own daily promise gave −17.1%, 2.1 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times XLI's −8.7% implies −17.4%, which makes XLIX look 1.8 points short. XLIX aims to return +2 times XLI's move each day, then resets.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, UXI or XLIX?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, UXI finished 0.6 points from what its multiple implies and XLIX finished 1.8 points from its own, so UXI came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are UXI and XLIX levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on State Street Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF, UXI at +2 times and XLIX at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, UXI or XLIX?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window UXI’s moved at 14% annualized and XLIX’s at 14%, so UXI has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold UXI or XLIX 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, UXI or XLIX?
UXI charges 0.95% a year and XLIX charges 0.45%, so XLIX is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
