Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are SMRX and SMU levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on NuScale Power, SMRX at +2 times and SMU at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, SMRX or SMU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window SMRX\u2019s moved at 97% annualized and SMU\u2019s at 89%, so SMRX has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold SMRX or SMU 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, SMRX or SMU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"SMRX charges 0.45% a year and SMU charges 1.30%, so SMRX 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":"SMRX vs SMU","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/smrx-vs-smu"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"SMRX vs SMU: which held to its multiple?","description":"SMRX sets out to return +2 times SMR each day and SMU +2 times.
