This fund multiplies its index's move each day and resets that multiple daily. Because daily returns compound, its long-run return can differ from the headline multiple.

Our read on QQQD

ETF.net Research

BShorting seven stocks, not an index of five hundred. QQQD aims for 100% of the inverse of the Indxx Magnificent 7 Index each day, with no leverage attached: the plain-vanilla setting on a shelf stacked with 2x and 3x products.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks daily investment results equal to 100% of the inverse performance of the Indxx Magnificent 7 Index, before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

  1. 01At 1.08% a year, it comes in under the median expense ratio of its inverse and leveraged peer group, which sits closer to 1.21%.
  2. 02The -1x mandate means no multiplier: it aims to mirror the index's daily move one-for-one in reverse, so compounding effects are milder than in 2x or 3x siblings.direxion.com
  3. 03Most inverse equity funds short a whole benchmark. This one tracks the Indxx Magnificent 7 Index, so the short sits on seven megacaps rather than PSQ's full Nasdaq-100 lineup.
  4. 04Scores in the upper half of its inverse-fund cohort on our review, helped by cost and tradability rather than sheer size.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Daily reset: the objective is a one-day result. Hold longer and returns can drift meaningfully from the simple inverse of the index over that stretch.
  2. 02Launched in 2024 and still a small fund with moderate trading. Thinner books can mean wider spreads than the long-running inverse names.
  3. 03Seven names, no diversification cushion. A single megacap earnings surprise can move the whole basket.

QQQD 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.
