Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are LITU and LITZ levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Lumentum, LITU at +2 times and LITZ at -2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, LITU or LITZ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window LITU\u2019s moved at 96% annualized and LITZ\u2019s at 96%, so LITU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold LITU or LITZ 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, LITU or LITZ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"LITU charges 1.50% a year and LITZ charges 1.49%, so LITZ 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":"LITU vs LITZ","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/litu-vs-litz"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"LITU vs LITZ: which held to its multiple?","description":"LITU sets out to return +2 times LITE each day and LITZ -2 times.
