## Questions

### Did RWM return -1 times IWM?

Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, IWM moved −6.9% and RWM returned +8.6%. −1 times that move is +6.9%, so the fund came out 1.7 points ahead of it.

### Why does RWM not return -1 times over a year?

Because it resets daily. RWM aims at -1 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 -1 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.
