 "questions": [
  {
   "q": "Did SMCL return +2 times SMCI?",
   "a": "Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, SMCI moved +48.5% and SMCL returned +77.5%. 2 times that move is +97.1%, so the fund came out 19.5 points short of it."
  },
  {
   "q": "Why does SMCL not return +2 times over a year?",
   "a": "Because it resets daily. SMCL 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."
  },
  {
   "q": "Which +2x SMCI ETF tracked its stated multiple most closely?",
   "a": "3 issuers sell one. Over the days all of them have been trading, the table on this page ranks them by how far each finished from 2 times the underlying's move. ETFIQ does not rate funds; the order is the figure itself."
