Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are IONC and IONZ levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on IONQ, IONC at +2 times and IONZ at -2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, IONC or IONZ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window IONC\u2019s moved at 76% annualized and IONZ\u2019s at 76%, so IONC has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold IONC or IONZ 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, IONC or IONZ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"IONC charges 0.45% a year and IONZ charges 1.91%, so IONC 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":"IONC vs IONZ","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/ionc-vs-ionz"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"IONC vs IONZ: which held to its multiple?","description":"IONC sets out to return +2 times IONQ each day and IONZ -2 times.
