Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are SBB and SDD levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF, SBB at -1 times and SDD at -2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, SBB or SDD?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window SBB\u2019s moved at 12% annualized and SDD\u2019s at 12%, so SBB has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold SBB or SDD 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, SBB or SDD?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"SBB charges 0.95% a year and SDD charges 0.95%, so SBB 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":"SBB vs SDD","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/sbb-vs-sdd"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"SBB vs SDD: which held to its multiple?","description":"SBB sets out to return -1 times IJR each day and SDD -2 times.
