Our read on ERY
CThe energy short that targets the stocks, not the barrels. ERY aims for negative 200% of the Energy Select Sector Index's daily move, an equity bet on the sector going the other way, with the leverage reset every single day. Running since 2008.
The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to negative 200% of the Energy Select Sector Index. It is a leveraged inverse strategy intended for a single day rather than the index’s cumulative return over longer periods.
Why people hold it
- Shorts an equity benchmark, the Energy Select Sector Index, rather than commodity futures. That is a different exposure from cohort peers SCO and KOLD, which short crude and natural gas.direxion.com
- Live since 2008 and actively traded, so getting in and out is rarely the hard part.
- The 1.04% fee sits right at the median for bear energy funds (1.03%) and well under DUG's 1.41%.
Worth knowing
- The leverage resets daily. Held longer than a day, results can drift well away from negative 2x the index's move over that stretch, and choppy markets widen the gap.direxion.com
- Cheaper shorts exist in the group: SCO and KOLD charge 0.95%, though both aim at commodity futures instead of energy shares.
- A small fund by ETF standards, so it depends more on steady trader interest than the larger names on the leveraged shelf.

ERY 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.
