## Questions

### Did LQDU return +3 times LQD?

Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, LQD moved −1.3% and LQDU returned −5.3%. 3 times that move is −3.8%, so the fund came out 1.5 points short of it.

### Why does LQDU not return +3 times over a year?

Because it resets daily. LQDU aims at +3 times each day's move, and daily results compound. Over a run where the underlying falls and comes back, compounding a levered daily return leaves a holder behind what +3 times the period move would suggest; over a steady run in one direction it can leave them ahead. The longer the holding, and the more the underlying moves about, the further apart the two figures get.
