Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are AMDC and DAMD levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Advanced Micro Devices, AMDC at +2 times and DAMD at -2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, AMDC or DAMD?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window AMDC\u2019s moved at 67% annualized and DAMD\u2019s at 67%, so AMDC has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold AMDC or DAMD 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, AMDC or DAMD?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"AMDC charges 0.45% a year and DAMD charges 1.30%, so AMDC 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":"AMDC vs DAMD","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/amdc-vs-damd"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"AMDC vs DAMD: which held to its multiple?","description":"AMDC sets out to return +2 times AMD each day and DAMD -2 times.
