WDCC in plain words
One month to Sep 30, 2026: WDCC returned −0.1% where its own daily promise gave +0.1%, 0.1 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times WDC's 0.9% implies +1.8%, which makes WDCC look 1.9 points short. 1.8 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. WDCC aims to return +2 times WDC'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. WDC moved at 45% 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.
WDCX in plain words
Three months to Sep 30, 2026: WDCX returned −52.8% where its own daily promise gave −51.4%, 1.5 points short. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times WDC's −24.0% implies −48.1%, which makes WDCX look 4.8 points short. 3.3 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any 2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. WDCX aims to return +2 times WDC's move each day, then resets. WDC moved at 81% annualized over that window.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its stated multiple, WDCC or WDCX?
- Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, WDCC finished 1.9 points from what its multiple implies and WDCX finished 4.8 points from its own, so WDCC came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are WDCC and WDCX levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Western Digital, WDCC at +2 times and WDCX at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, WDCC or WDCX?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window WDCC’s moved at 45% annualized and WDCX’s at 81%, so WDCX has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold WDCC or WDCX 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.
