Our read on BOIL
DThe only natural gas play in a leveraged energy aisle full of oil and energy stocks. BOIL aims for two times the daily move of a Bloomberg natural gas futures index, in a market known for violent swings.
The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to two times the daily performance of the Bloomberg Natural Gas Subindex SM.
Why people hold it
- One job, spelled out in the fund's own documents: two times the daily performance of the Bloomberg Natural Gas Subindex, reset each day.proshares.com
- The cohort's only gas ticket. ERX, GUSH and DIG track energy equities and UCO tracks crude; nothing else here follows the gas curve.
- The 0.95% fee sits right at the cohort median, and shares trade actively, which matters when the holding period is measured in days.
- Trading since 2011, a long run for a leveraged commodity product and an unusually deep track record in this corner of the market.
Worth knowing
- Daily reset means results compound. Hold through a choppy stretch and the outcome can differ, sometimes sharply, from two times the index move over that period.
- Natural gas swings hard on weather and storage, and doubling it daily puts this at the wildest end of an already volatile peer group.
- It is a commodity pool holding futures, not shares of gas producers, so it is not built to pay income.

BOIL in the news
ETF.net Research hasn’t filed on BOIL yet — coverage lands here as it’s written.
BOIL Dividends
No distributions in the last 12 months.
BOIL 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.

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.
