Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are RGTU and RGTZ levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Rigetti Computing, RGTU at +2 times and RGTZ at -2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, RGTU or RGTZ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window RGTU\u2019s moved at 78% annualized and RGTZ\u2019s at 78%, so RGTU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold RGTU or RGTZ 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, RGTU or RGTZ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"RGTU charges 1.30% a year and RGTZ charges 1.83%, so RGTU 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":"RGTU vs RGTZ","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/rgtu-vs-rgtz"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"RGTU vs RGTZ: which held to its multiple?","description":"RGTU sets out to return +2 times RGTI each day and RGTZ -2 times.
