## Questions

### Did GDXD return -3 times GDX?

Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, GDX moved +17.0% and GDXD returned −56.8%. −3 times that move is −50.9%, so the fund came out 5.9 points short of it.

### Why does GDXD not return -3 times over a year?

Because it resets daily. GDXD 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.
