Our read on DOG
AThe plain-vanilla short. DOG aims for the inverse of the Dow Jones Industrial Average's daily move, no leverage bolted on, and it has been running that same one-speed playbook since 2006.
DOG seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse of the Dow Jones Industrial Average's daily performance.
Why people hold it
- One gear only: it targets the inverse of a single day's Dow move, with no multiplier stacked on top.proshares.com
- The 0.99% fee lands under the typical charge in its leveraged-and-inverse peer group, and under what DXD asks on the very same index.
- It has stayed tight to its stated daily target, one of the stronger implementations in a crowded inverse cohort.
- Live since 2006 and actively traded, so entering and exiting a short-term position is rarely the hard part.
Worth knowing
- The reset is daily. Hold longer and compounding takes over, so multi-day results can drift from a simple inverse of the Dow over the same stretch.proshares.com
- That 0.99% accrues every day the position is open, whether the Dow cooperates or not, so cost weighs more the longer the trade runs.
- Modest asset base next to the largest inverse funds, and the exposure is one index, short. No diversification is doing any work here.

DOG 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.
- 11.7%
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.
- −1.13
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.
- −37.3%
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.
- −0.83
