Our read on SRTY

ETF.net Research

In short

AA one-day instrument by design: SRTY aims for three times the inverse of the Russell 2000's daily move, and it has been the ProShares small-cap bear since 2010.

Stated mandate

SRTY seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to three times the inverse daily performance of the Russell 2000 Index.

Why people hold it

  • 0.95% net of a waiver through September 30, 2027 (1.10% gross), which undercuts TZA at 0.99%, the only other 3x small-cap bear in the peer set, and sits below the category median.
  • The mechanism is plain: three times the inverse of the Russell 2000's daily performance, reset each day. That index covers roughly 2,000 of the smallest names in the Russell 3000.proshares.comfidelity.com
  • Listed since 2010 and actively traded, it rates as one of the stronger implementations in its bear-3x peer group.

Worth knowing

  • Daily reset means compounding. Hold past a single day and results can diverge widely from 3x the index's move over that stretch, especially through choppy markets.proshares.com
  • The fee steps toward the 1.10% gross rate if the waiver is not extended past September 30, 2027.
  • Small caps are the jumpier end of US equity, and a 3x inverse multiplies that daily swing in both directions.fidelity.com

SRTY 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.
