Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are NVDD and NVDU levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on NVIDIA, NVDD at -1 times and NVDU at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, NVDD or NVDU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window NVDD\u2019s moved at 38% annualized and NVDU\u2019s at 38%, so NVDD has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold NVDD or NVDU 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, NVDD or NVDU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"NVDD charges 1.01% a year and NVDU charges 0.92%, so NVDU 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":"NVDD vs NVDU","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/nvdd-vs-nvdu"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"NVDD vs NVDU: which held to its multiple?","description":"NVDD sets out to return -1 times NVDA each day and NVDU +2 times.
