Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are AMDD and AMUU levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Advanced Micro Devices, AMDD at -1 times and AMUU at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, AMDD or AMUU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window AMDD\u2019s moved at 63% annualized and AMUU\u2019s at 63%, so AMDD has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold AMDD or AMUU 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, AMDD or AMUU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"AMDD charges 1.03% a year and AMUU charges 1.06%, so AMDD 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":"AMDD vs AMUU","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/amdd-vs-amuu"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"AMDD vs AMUU: which held to its multiple?","description":"AMDD sets out to return -1 times AMD each day and AMUU +2 times.
