VRC in plain words

One month to Sep 30, 2026: VRC returned −15.8% where its own daily promise gave −15.9%, 0.1 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times VRT's −6.7% implies −13.4%, which makes VRC look 2.4 points short. 2.5 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. VRC aims to return +2 times VRT'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. VRT moved at 61% 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.

VRTL in plain words

Three months to Sep 30, 2026: VRTL returned −49.1% where its own daily promise gave −47.0%, 2.1 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times VRT's −22.5% implies −45.0%, which makes VRTL look 4.1 points short. 2.1 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. VRTL aims to return +2 times VRT's move each day, then resets. VRT moved at 66% annualized over that window.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, VRC or VRTL?
Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, VRC finished 2.4 points from what its multiple implies and VRTL finished 4.1 points from its own, so VRC came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are VRC and VRTL levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on Vertiv Holdings, LLC, VRC at +2 times and VRTL at +2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, VRC or VRTL?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window VRC’s moved at 61% annualized and VRTL’s at 66%, so VRTL has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold VRC or VRTL 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, VRC or VRTL?
VRC charges 0.45% a year and VRTL charges 1.50%, so VRC is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
