Our read on REK

ETF.net Research

In short

BThe calm way to lean against real estate: REK aims to deliver -1x the daily move of the S&P Real Estate Select Sector Index, with no extra leverage stacked on top. Fee is 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the inverse of the daily performance of the S&P Real Estate Select Sector Index.

Why people hold it

  • ProShares bills it as the only -1x ETF on the real estate sector, so the bearish tilt arrives without -2x or -3x daily math on top.proshares.com
  • 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027, matching ProShares stablemates DOG and PSQ (both 0.95% net of waivers through the same date) and near the category median.
  • Listed in March 2010, it has been a live, tradable short-real-estate ticker through more than a decade of rate shocks and office-market stress.
  • Scores in the upper tier of a crowded inverse and leveraged peer group, one of the steadier builds in a corner known for rough edges.

Worth knowing

  • The -1x target resets every day. Hold it for weeks and compounding can pull your result away from -1x the index's path, most visibly in choppy markets.proshares.com
  • Small fund, light tape. Thin volume can widen the spread you pay getting in and out.
  • Gross expenses are 1.57%. That is the sticker price if the waiver is not renewed past September 30, 2027.

REK Risk

Risk pillarA78 out of 100Rank 4 of 53 in Leveraged Inverse (2x & Other)

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.

16.5%
Annualised · 36 months to Oct 2026
How it’s calculated: standard deviation

The sample standard deviation of monthly total returns, multiplied by the square root of 12.
