Over the three months to Sep 30, 2026 they finished \u22120.9 pts and +3.5 pts away.","as_of":"Sep 30, 2026","structured_data":[{"@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Which came closer to its stated multiple, DUSL or SIJ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Over the window to Sep 30, 2026, DUSL finished 0.9 points from what its multiple implies and SIJ finished 3.5 points from its own, so DUSL came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are DUSL and SIJ levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on State Street Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF, DUSL at +3 times and SIJ at -2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, DUSL or SIJ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window DUSL\u2019s moved at 14% annualized and SIJ\u2019s at 14%, so DUSL has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold DUSL or SIJ 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, DUSL or SIJ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"DUSL charges 0.97% a year and SIJ charges 0.95%, so SIJ 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":"DUSL vs SIJ","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/dusl-vs-sij"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"DUSL vs SIJ: which held to its multiple?","description":"DUSL sets out to return +3 times XLI each day and SIJ -2 times.
