Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are ASTG and ASTN levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on AST SpaceMobile, ASTG at +2 times and ASTN at -2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, ASTG or ASTN?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window ASTG\u2019s moved at 83% annualized and ASTN\u2019s at 83%, so ASTG has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold ASTG or ASTN 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, ASTG or ASTN?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"ASTG charges 0.99% a year and ASTN charges 1.31%, so ASTG 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":"ASTG vs ASTN","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/astg-vs-astn"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"ASTG vs ASTN: which held to its multiple?","description":"ASTG sets out to return +2 times ASTS each day and ASTN -2 times.
