About WLDU
Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times VT's 1.9% implies +3.8%, which makes WLDU look 3.2 points short. That is not the fund's objective, which is daily. Of that 3.2, daily compounding is −0.3 points, which any 2 times fund would show over the same path, and the fund itself is −2.9 points against 2 times each day's move, compounded. WLDU aims to return +2 times VT's move each day, then resets. Over one day it does that. Over longer periods the daily results compound, so the total is not +2 times the period's move: it is lower after a fall and recovery, and can be higher in a steady run. VT moved at 11% annualized over that window. The more it moves, the further the two figures separate.
Over the three months to Oct 21, 2026, WLDU returned 0.6%, against 3.5% for twice VT's daily moves.
About WX
Read the multiple against the whole window instead and 2 times VT's 1.9% implies +3.8%, which makes WX look 2.7 points short. Of that 2.7, daily compounding is −0.3 points, which any 2 times fund would show over the same path, and the fund itself is −2.4 points against 2 times each day's move, compounded. WX aims to return +2 times VT's move each day, then resets.
Over the three months to Oct 21, 2026, WX returned 1.1%, against 3.5% for twice VT's daily moves.
Questions people ask
- Which came closer to its daily multiple, WLDU or WX?
- Over the window to Oct 21, 2026, WLDU finished 3.2 points from what its multiple implies and WX finished 2.7 points from its own, so WX came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
- Are WLDU and WX levered on the same thing?
- Yes. Both are levered on Vanguard Total World Stock Index ETF, WLDU at +2 times and WX at +2 times the daily move.
- Which one decays faster, WLDU or WX?
- Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window WLDU’s moved at 11% annualized and WX’s at 11%, so WLDU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
- Can I hold WLDU or WX for a year?
- Both reset every day, so the multiple in the name applies to a single day, and daily results compound. Over a year the total is not the multiple times the year’s move; after a fall and recovery it is lower.
