## Questions

### Did WLDU return +2 times VT?

Over the three months to Oct 21, 2026, VT moved +1.9% and WLDU returned +0.6%. 2 times that move is +3.8%, so the fund came out 3.2 points short of it. That is not its objective, which is daily. Against 2 times each day's move, compounded, it was 2.9 points short.

### Why does WLDU not return +2 times over a year?

Because it resets daily. WLDU aims at +2 times each day's move, and daily results compound. If the underlying falls and recovers, a holder ends up behind +2 times the period move; in a steady run in one direction, possibly ahead. The longer the holding and the more the underlying swings, the wider the gap.

### Which +2x VT ETF came closest to its daily multiple?

2 issuers sell one. The table on this page ranks them by how far each finished from 2 times the underlying's move, over the days all of them have traded.
