Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are METQ and METU levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Meta Platforms, METQ at -2 times and METU at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, METQ or METU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window METQ\u2019s moved at 55% annualized and METU\u2019s at 49%, so METQ has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold METQ or METU 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, METQ or METU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"METQ charges 1.49% a year and METU charges 1.02%, so METU 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":"METQ vs METU","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/metq-vs-metu"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"METQ vs METU: which held to its multiple?","description":"METQ sets out to return -2 times META each day and METU +2 times.
