Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are AXTQ and AXTU levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on AXT, AXTQ at -2 times and AXTU at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, AXTQ or AXTU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window AXTQ\u2019s moved at 109% annualized and AXTU\u2019s at 158%, so AXTU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold AXTQ or AXTU 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, AXTQ or AXTU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"AXTQ charges 1.49% a year and AXTU charges 1.50%, so AXTQ 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":"AXTQ vs AXTU","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/axtq-vs-axtu"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"AXTQ vs AXTU: which held to its multiple?","description":"AXTQ sets out to return -2 times AXTI each day and AXTU +2 times.
