## Questions

### Did XLCU return +3 times XLC?

Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, XLC moved −0.2% and XLCU returned −0.6%. 3 times that move is −0.5%, so the fund came out 0.1 points short of it.

### Why does XLCU not return +3 times over a year?

Because it resets daily. XLCU aims at +3 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 +3 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.
