Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are PLTL and PLTZ levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Palantir Technologies, PLTL at +2 times and PLTZ at -2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, PLTL or PLTZ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window PLTL\u2019s moved at 75% annualized and PLTZ\u2019s at 75%, so PLTL has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold PLTL or PLTZ 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, PLTL or PLTZ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"PLTL charges 0.20% a year and PLTZ charges 1.31%, so PLTL 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":"PLTL vs PLTZ","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/pltl-vs-pltz"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"PLTL vs PLTZ: which held to its multiple?","description":"PLTL sets out to return +2 times PLTR each day and PLTZ -2 times.
