Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are AMAA and AMZU levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Amazon.com, AMAA at +2 times and AMZU at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, AMAA or AMZU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window AMAA\u2019s moved at 41% annualized and AMZU\u2019s at 41%, so AMAA has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold AMAA or AMZU for a year?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Both reset every day, so the multiple in the name applies to a single day and the daily results compound. Over a year the total is not the multiple times the year\u2019s move, and in a market that falls and comes back it is reliably less. ETFIQ makes no recommendation either way."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which is cheaper, AMAA or AMZU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"AMAA charges 0.45% a year and AMZU charges 0.99%, so AMAA is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus."}}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"ETFIQ","item":"https://etfiq.com/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Leveraged ETFs","item":"https://etfiq.com/leverage/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"AMAA vs AMZU","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/amaa-vs-amzu"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"AMAA vs AMZU: which held to its multiple?","description":"AMAA sets out to return +2 times AMZN each day and AMZU +2 times.
