Our read on APLZ
CA one-day trade in a fund wrapper: APLZ aims to deliver two times the inverse of Applied Digital's daily move, so bears can lean against the AI data-center story without a margin account or a stock loan.
The fund seeks daily results equal to two times the inverse performance of Applied Digital Corporation common shares, before fees and expenses. It is designed for a one-trading-day objective rather than a longer holding period.
Why people hold it
- Pure single-name tool. Instead of a sector basket, it targets one stock, Applied Digital (APLD), at twice the inverse of its daily move.tradretfs.com
- Short exposure in an ordinary brokerage account: no margin agreement, no locating shares to borrow, no open-ended short losses beyond what you put in.tradretfs.com
- Tight to its mandate. Day to day, the fund has hewed closely to its stated two-times-inverse objective, one of the stronger tracking records among inverse single-stock funds.
Worth knowing
- The math resets every day. Hold longer than a session and compounding takes over, so results over a week or a month can drift well away from minus two times the move.
- At 1.49% a year, it sits above the typical inverse single-stock fund; peers like TSLS and AAPD run cheaper, though they target different stocks at 1x.
- Young and small: launched in 2026 with a modest asset base, so it has a short track record and thinner trading than the established names in the category.

APLZ 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.
