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 TQQQ

ETF.net Research

BThe original 3x Nasdaq-100 fund, trading since 2010 and one of the busiest tickers in the leveraged aisle. It resets its exposure every single day, which makes it a short-horizon tool by design.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to three times the daily performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index.

Why people hold it

  1. 01One ticker, no margin account: the fund aims for three times the daily move of the Nasdaq-100, an index of 100 of the largest non-financial names listed on Nasdaq.proshares.com
  2. 02ProShares launched it in 2010 as the first ETF offering magnified 3x daily exposure to the Nasdaq-100, so there is a long record across several boom and bust cycles.proshares.com
  3. 03Among the most heavily traded funds in the leveraged category, which generally means tight spreads and easy entry and exit for a fast-moving strategy.
  4. 04At 0.97% a year, it prices below the typical leveraged-bull fund, and it stands among the strongest implementations in that peer group.

Worth knowing

  1. 01The 3x target applies to one day. Hold longer and returns can land well above or below three times the index, with choppy markets working against you.proshares.com
  2. 02Leverage runs both directions: a rough day for the Nasdaq-100 shows up roughly tripled in the fund.proshares.com
  3. 03The current 0.97% fee reflects a waiver running through September 30, 2026. Without that waiver, costs would be higher.proshares.com

TQQQ 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.
