In plain words
Questions people ask about COPZ
- Did COPZ return +2 times COPX?
- Over the window to Oct 2, 2026, COPX moved +12.1% and COPZ returned +17.6%. 2 times that move is +24.2%, so the fund came out 6.5 points short of it.
- Why does COPZ not return +2 times over a year?
- Because it resets daily. COPZ aims at +2 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 +2 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.
