Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are TSL and TSLI levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Tesla, TSL at +1.25 times and TSLI at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, TSL or TSLI?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window TSL\u2019s moved at 48% annualized and TSLI\u2019s at 48%, so TSL has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold TSL or TSLI 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, TSL or TSLI?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"TSL charges 1.15% a year and TSLI charges 0.95%, so TSLI 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":"Head to head","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"TSL vs TSLI","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/tsl-vs-tsli"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"TSL vs TSLI: which held to its multiple?","description":"TSL sets out to return +1.25 times TSLA each day and TSLI +2 times.
