Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are DRAL and RAM levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Roundhill Memory ETF, DRAL at +2 times and RAM at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, DRAL or RAM?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window DRAL\u2019s moved at 80% annualized and RAM\u2019s at 80%, so DRAL has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold DRAL or RAM 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, DRAL or RAM?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"DRAL charges 1.31% a year and RAM charges 0.99%, so RAM 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":"DRAL vs RAM","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/dral-vs-ram"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"DRAL vs RAM: which held to its multiple?","description":"DRAL sets out to return +2 times DRAM each day and RAM +2 times.
