Our read on EZJ
DMost leveraged bull ETFs aim at the S&P or the Nasdaq. EZJ aims at Tokyo, seeking twice the daily move of the MSCI Japan Index, a corner of the leveraged shelf it has occupied since 2009.
The fund seeks magnified positive daily exposure to the MSCI Japan Index, targeting twice the index's daily return before fees and expenses.
Why people hold it
- Two times the daily move of the MSCI Japan Index in one ticker, with no margin account or futures desk involved.proshares.com
- Trading since 2009, making it one of the long-standing US-listed leveraged ways to express a view on Japanese stocks.proshares.com
- The reference is a broad Japan equity index, so the leverage sits on the whole market rather than one sector or a handful of names.proshares.com
Worth knowing
- Leverage resets daily. Hold past a day and returns compound off each close, so a choppy stretch can leave you far from twice the index's move over that stretch.proshares.com
- The 2.91% expense ratio is several times what the heavyweight leveraged bull funds such as QLD and UDOW charge.
- Small asset base and light trading versus the category's giants, so spreads and limit orders do more of the work on entry and exit.

EZJ 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.

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.

How it’s calculated: Sharpe ratio
