Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are DSPC and SPCQ levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Space Exploration Technologies, DSPC at -1 times and SPCQ at -2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, DSPC or SPCQ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window DSPC\u2019s moved at 44% annualized and SPCQ\u2019s at 70%, so SPCQ has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold DSPC or SPCQ 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, DSPC or SPCQ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"DSPC charges 0.99% a year and SPCQ charges 1.31%, so DSPC 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":"DSPC vs SPCQ","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/dspc-vs-spcq"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"DSPC vs SPCQ: which held to its multiple?","description":"DSPC sets out to return -1 times SPCX each day and SPCQ -2 times.
