Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are RKLX and RKX levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Rocket Lab, RKLX at +2 times and RKX at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, RKLX or RKX?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window RKLX\u2019s moved at 70% annualized and RKX\u2019s at 70%, so RKLX has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold RKLX or RKX 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, RKLX or RKX?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"RKLX charges 1.63% a year and RKX charges 0.45%, so RKX 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":"RKLX vs RKX","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/rklx-vs-rkx"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"RKLX vs RKX: which held to its multiple?","description":"RKLX sets out to return +2 times RKLB each day and RKX +2 times.
