Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are TWM and UWM levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on the Russell 2000, TWM at -2 times and UWM at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, TWM or UWM?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window TWM\u2019s moved at 13% annualized and UWM\u2019s at 13%, so TWM has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold TWM or UWM 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, TWM or UWM?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"TWM charges 0.95% a year and UWM charges 0.95%, so TWM 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":"TWM vs UWM","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/twm-vs-uwm"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"TWM vs UWM: which held to its multiple?","description":"TWM sets out to return -2 times IWM each day and UWM +2 times.
