In plain words
Questions people ask about IBX
- Did IBX return +2 times IBM?
- Over the window to Oct 2, 2026, IBM moved −22.6% and IBX returned −49.4%. 2 times that move is −45.1%, so the fund came out 4.3 points short of it.
- Why does IBX not return +2 times over a year?
- Because it resets daily. IBX 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.
