In plain words
Questions people ask about LNOK
- Did LNOK return +2 times NOK?
- Over the window to Oct 2, 2026, NOK moved −11.7% and LNOK returned −34.7%. 2 times that move is −23.5%, so the fund came out 11.3 points short of it.
- Why does LNOK not return +2 times over a year?
- Because it resets daily. LNOK 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.
