The ETF.net QQDN Grade
Score 40 of 100 sits in the C band. Bands: A ≥ 70, B ≥ 55, C ≥ 40, D ≥ 25, F < 25; the scale skips E. A structural cap ceilings this fund at 40, so B and A are out of reach.

Our read on QQDN
CMost Nasdaq bear funds short all 100 names. QQDN aims for -2x the daily move of the Nasdaq-100's mega-cap core only, tracking an index whose membership refreshes as the giants reshuffle instead of freezing a fixed basket.
QQDN seeks daily results equal to two times the inverse of the Nasdaq-100 Mega Index's daily performance, before fees and expenses.
Why people hold it
- Targets the Nasdaq-100's mega-cap core instead of all 100 names, concentrating the short where the parent index's own weight already sits.proshares.com
- The index follows the mega-cap pecking order as it shifts, so the exposure isn't pinned to a hand-picked, fixed list of yesterday's leaders.proshares.com
- Runs 1.12% a year, below the median for leveraged and inverse funds, and getting short this way needs no margin account or stock borrow.
Worth knowing
- The -2x target resets each day. Hold longer and compounding drives the math, so results can diverge from twice the index's inverse move over that stretch.proshares.com
- Concentration cuts both ways: a handful of mega-caps drive the index, and one company's news reaches you doubled and flipped.proshares.com
- Launched in 2025 and lightly traded next to long-standing Nasdaq shorts like PSQ, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads.

QQDN 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.

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.
- −50.2%
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.
