Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are SPAL and SPCF levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Space Exploration Technologies, SPAL at +2 times and SPCF at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, SPAL or SPCF?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window SPAL\u2019s moved at 70% annualized and SPCF\u2019s at 70%, so SPAL has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold SPAL or SPCF 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, SPAL or SPCF?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"SPAL charges 1.50% a year and SPCF charges 0.95%, so SPCF 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":"SPAL vs SPCF","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/spal-vs-spcf"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"SPAL vs SPCF: which held to its multiple?","description":"SPAL sets out to return +2 times SPCX each day and SPCF +2 times.
