Our read on AIBD
FThe bearish side of the AI trade, packaged as an ETF. AIBD aims for 200% of the inverse of the Solactive US AI & Big Data Index's daily move, and it resets every session: a short-horizon trading tool by its own design, not a hold-and-forget position.
The Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to 200% of the inverse of the Solactive US AI & Big Data Index’s daily performance. It is designed for a single trading day rather than for achieving that multiple over longer periods.
Why people hold it
- Lets you lean against the AI theme without a margin account or borrowing shares. The fund itself carries the -2x daily exposure.
- The mandate is spelled out, not implied: 200% of the inverse of one named index, the Solactive US AI & Big Data Index, on US-listed names.
- A rare bearish instrument in a cohort stacked with long-only AI funds, so it expresses a view most of the category structurally cannot.
Worth knowing
- Daily reset: hold past one session and returns compound. Over longer stretches the result can diverge widely from -2x the index's move for that period.
- The 2.64% expense ratio runs many times what plain AI index peers charge (XAIX at 0.35%, QTUM at 0.40%).
- A small, lightly traded fund, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads than the category's heavyweights.

AIBD Risk
This fund targets a multiple of the daily move of its index and resets daily. Hold it longer than one reset and compounding makes the return diverge from that target. In choppy markets it can lose value even when the index ends flat.
- 47.0%
How it’s calculated: standard deviation
The sample standard deviation of monthly total returns, multiplied by the square root of 12.
Uses up to 36 complete months, with at least 12 required. Total returns include reinvested distributions.
- −1.32
How it’s calculated: Sharpe ratio
Subtract each month’s Treasury-bill return from the fund’s monthly total return.
Divide the average of those excess returns by their sample standard deviation, then multiply by the square root of 12.
Uses up to 36 complete months, with at least 12 required. Each month uses the Treasury yield quoted at the end of the previous month.
- −83.6%
How it’s calculated: maximum drawdown
The largest percentage decline from an earlier peak, using total returns with reinvested distributions.
Uses up to five years through the last close, with at least 12 months required.
- −3.32
