Price
Against the asset it holds
Total return of the fund, distributions included, beside the change in the asset over exactly the same dates. The difference is what holding the wrapper cost or gained against holding the asset. Over a full year it should sit close to minus the expense ratio; anything further away has another cause.
| Window | From | CRDD | ADA | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 month | 28 Sep 2026 | -16.25% | -16.74% | +0.49 pp |
| 3 months | 29 Jul 2026 | +19.62% | +27.10% | -7.49 pp |
| 6 months | 29 Apr 2026 | -20.28% | -15.94% | -4.34 pp |
| Since first trade | 01 Apr 2026 | -23.53% | -17.12% | -6.41 pp |
Both lines start at 100 where the chosen range begins. A gap that opens between them is the cost, or gain, of holding the asset through the fund.

Fund facts

In the issuer’s words
CRDD is an actively managed fund focused on achieving returns linked to ADA futures contracts traded on CFTC-registered exchanges, along with collateral investments like cash or high-quality securities. It aims for full participation in ADA returns by using the price of the near-expiry ADA futures contracts and rolling the futures contracts prior to expiration. Though the fund does not invest directly in ADA, it benefits from ADA futures contracts price increases and exposes investors to all downside risk. ADA is the native token of the Cardano Network, a decentralized, proof-of-stake blockchain platform designed to enable the development and execution of smart contracts and decentralized applications. The fund may hold ADA futures contracts, shares in other ADA-linked ETPs not registered under the 1940 Act (when applicable), ADA referenced indexes, and swap agreements referencing ADA. The fund utilizes a Cayman Island subsidiary to invest via futures contracts.

What these figures cannot tell you
We do not publish a premium or discount to net asset value. Our source’s net asset value carries no date of its own, and comparing one day’s price with another day’s value invents a gap that is not there. The issuer publishes both every day.
Returns here are the fund’s, before your broker’s costs, the spread you pay to trade, and any tax. Distributions are counted as reinvested on the day they were paid.
A fund’s asset sits with a custodian named in its prospectus. The figures say nothing about that arrangement; the prospectus does.
A fund that follows its asset closely inherits all of the asset’s risks. The research file for the asset is where those are measured.
